Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum

The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is located in Wausau, Wisconsin. It is best known for its annual Birds in Art exhibition, which exhibits contemporary artistic representations of birds. The annual exhibition has been held beginning the week after Labor Day since the museum's founding in 1976. The

museum stands on a 4-acre (16,000 m2) estate in a 1931 Tudor Revival-style house previously owned by Alice Woodson Forester (1918–1994) and John E. Forester (1913–2008). The Foresters donated their home in 1973 and the museum opened in September 1976.
