Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin

Dear readers,

Back in Wausau (WI) for 12 days after three years, I enjoyed today going to the Woodson Art museum. It is a very neat museum specialized in birds art where I was lucky to show a painting there in 1998 during the Birds in Art international art show.

Since then, the museum collection has expended and went through major works. They have built a new extension to host a donation from BMO Harris Bank about the artist Owen J. Gromme. Their sculpture garden still looks gorgeous and magical even burried under the snow! We are currently experiencing a strong cold spell in Wisconsin.

Currently they have a couple of interesting current exhibitions:
  Huchthausen: A Glass Retrospective (my favorite)
  Transformation 8: Contemporary Works in Small Metals
  Owen J. Gromme: An Enduring Legacy

I spoke to a couple of people working there who were very nice and enthuisastic.
If you live in the area or are a tourist, swing by, it is free and beautiful. Please support this museum if you can because it deserves to be discovered.

By the way, Happy New Year!
