MISSION
As the foremost museum devoted to American bird art,
we celebrate the beauty and wonder of birds and nature, inspiring inquiry and creativity,
and expanding knowledge about humanity’s relationship with nature.

The Museum collects, stewards, interprets, and presents the best of American bird art,
and creates exhibitions, publications, and educational experiences,
striving for the highest standards of quality in all its endeavors.

In addition to the exhibitions and collections, the museum’s 123-acre wildlife sanctuary is a quiet place for a contemplative walk, a living laboratory for citizen science, and an inspirational spark for artists and photographers.

MABA’s education staff are skilled field biologists and art educators who encourage children and adults alike in inquiry, observation, and creativity as they experience nature’s wonders firsthand.
