The World Championship Gallery

The World Championship Gallery is the largest of the Museum’s galleries, featuring a high vaulted ceiling and showcasing contemporary carvings. Many of these are masterpieces from the museum’s premier event, the annual Ward World Championship Carving Competition. Each year a special showing unveils the current winners. In this gallery, carvings of eagles, swans, owls, geese, ducks, herons, and songbirds appear to come to life.
