The Museum for Art in Wood is the international leader for contemporary art and creativity in the material of wood. The Museum engages, educates, and inspires the public through the exhibition, collection, and interpretation of contemporary art in wood.  
Founded in 1986 and sited in Philadelphia, the Museum for Art in Wood serves a local and international community. It has built its reputation by providing opportunities for makers and visitors to experience craft directly, through its seminal exhibitions and documentation; accessible and wide-ranging programming; and the growth, conservation, exhibition, and care of its permanent collection.  
The Museum for Art in Wood’s practice of keeping these resources free and available to the public emphasizes its commitment to building a democratic and inclusive community surrounding creativity in wood, an organic, shapeable, sustainable, and conceptually inspiring material.
