Museum Madness

This week, we brought the magic of “March Madness” to the Museum as the staff picked a favorite artwork from the Museum’s collection to go head-to-head in an outrageously heated vote for superiority. After the matchups were set, I could feel the familiar spike in anticipation for the first round ramp up.

What Our Visitors Say

A treat right in the middle of Wausau. A variety of different art mediums and well laid out. Bronze sculpture garden is lovely also. Enjoyed our afternoon here.

Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is consistently awe-inspiring. We began with a stroll through the immaculate statue garden, impressively clean despite the fall season and its usual leaf cleanup. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted, informed about ongoing exhibits, and guided on coat placement—a seamless welcome. The building's aesthetic is simply breathtaking, marrying stunning architecture with even more captivating artwork. It's an experience that warrants dedicating a few hours of your time. I highly recommend it, especially for parents; their children's area in the basement adds to the allure. I'm eagerly anticipating a return visit in summer to explore their rooftop display in the warmer weather.
