Plan Your Visit

The Museum of American Bird Art (MABA) Education Center connects people with nature through art. Located on a beautiful 121-acre property, the MABA Education Center offers art-inspired educational programs for people of all ages.

Please note: The public gallery is closed. We have transitioned the gallery building into our new creative arts space, The Nest, while we work on designing a new permanent home for our art collection.
