A very well organized small art museum that exceed expectations. On displays in 2026 are "Birds in ART" featuring hundreds of bird illustrations and sculptures with interesting notes from artists on what inspire their works. A rooftop garden displays a few more sculptures and provides a panoramic view of Wausau and nearby mountain, fantastic view especially during falls foliage. There is no entrance fee to the museum. An adjacent Margaret Woodson Fisher sculpture garden also displays animal sculptures.

A beautiful place to spend a few hours. Both inside and outdoor exhibits.Not only are there art exhibits, but there are educational displays on the different methods used in creating the various designs. Lots of animal sculptures, lovely gardens and a water feature. A gift shop is available. Its free to the public, but donations are gladly accepted.

This place us truly amazing. It's so well put together, clean, and full of people who love where they are and what they are doing. Don't hesitate to pick a brain if you have questions. Anyway is a good day to come but especially wonderful on days when you can bring a snack and eat in the sculpture garden.

They have rotating/differing exhibits. The one I saw were print-making and outdoor sculptures. It's a nice building and the outdoor sections are beautiful. They're renovating the front. Not many people there at all, we went around 10 am on a Tuesday and were able to take our time and enjoy the peace and quiet.

I had a great experience visiting the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. The exhibits were beautiful, especially the photography from Africa, which was very powerful and inspiring. I also loved the photo setup where visitors can take pictures with a backdrop—it was a fun and unique touch. Definitely worth a visit! These pictures were taken July 11, 2025
