Crisp autumn air, when it arrives, signals a reminder. This time of year, before fall foliage turns into the annual yardwork project, is perfect for mini-excursions. Apple orchards, hikes and bike rides, and day-trip drives rise to the top of fall wish lists.
As weather becomes more fickle, though, indoor venues with outdoor options are appealing and the Woodson Art Museum offers plenty to explore: Birds in Art 2021, the recently debuted Rooftop Sculpture Garden, Birding by the Book, and hands-on art making via Art Park, Art Kits, Art à la Carte, and Activity Guides are a few of the most recent highlights.
As you make fall plans, consider comments from recent visitors, gleaned from online reviews and the Museum’s digital guestbook, and invite friends and family to join you at the Woodson Art Museum.
- The Rooftop Sculpture Garden is a great addition to the museum! Enjoyed the views from the rooftop!
- As an art major in college and someone that grew up with access to Boston and New York’s art museums, I am very picky about art museums. I had low expectations for this small town museum but was very happily surprised! It has a lovely collection of well-curated artwork. The sculpture garden was also beautiful and we went back the next day to read and draw in the peaceful garden again. Highly recommend!!
- We stopped in Wausau on our way to Bayfield and lucked into finding this lovely museum . . . The focus of the museum is birds and their collection is stunning. Highly recommend this place.
