Digging a Little Deeper

While it’s easy to see the artistry and craftsmanship implemented by the “Birds in Art” artists while strolling through the exhibition, sometimes a closer look helps the viewer understand what an artist or artwork is all about. The Museum’s YouTube series “Artist Voices” is a great way to dig a little deeper into the world of “Birds in Art.”

What Our Visitors Say

My goodness. My wife and I have been to many art museums - from the Louvre in Paris to the Milwaukee Art Museum - and, pound for pound, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is absolutely wonderful. Our very first visit to this gem a couple of days ago brought a smile to me at every turn, from the beautifully-maintained outdoor garden and unique sculptures to the interesting exhibits inside a professionally-presented viewing space that covers three floors. Congratulations, Wausau, you have a winner!

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.
