Who We Are

About the Woodson Art Museum


The mission of the Woodson Art Museum is to enhance lives through art.

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum opened in 1976 alongside an avian-themed inaugural exhibition that became the world-renowned Birds in Art.

From its inception, the Woodson Art Museum has provided Wausau and its surrounding areas with access to exceptional exhibitions celebrating the marriage of nature and art.


The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is the only accredited art museum in Wausau and one of nine in Wisconsin, winning recognition across the region and on a national level.
