Time for an Upgrade

The Woodson Art Museum’s mission is to “enhance lives through art.” My role as the marketing and communication manager is to ensure that all our resources and communication channels are accessible and efficient for everyone.

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.
