The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art is devoted to intriguing bird sculptures ranging from stuffed animals to hunting decoys. Step into another realm as you walk through several galleries and theatres full of ducks, eagles and other lifelike sculptures. After learning about the history of wildfowl art, make your way to the serene grounds and pond outside. Take a tour with a docent to get a wider contextual appreciation of the works. Notice the eclectic range of sculpture. You’ll find life-sized and miniature models dotted around the galleries. Many were crafted for artistic reasons, while others were useful decoys for hunters. Learn about the story behind each piece, some of which are competition winners. Permanent exhibits teach you about former bird-hunting methods in the region. Visit one of the temporary exhibits passing through the museum. Events and displays relate to many themes, such as antiques and artists. Check the website to see when competitions and events are scheduled. Amble along the nature trail in the picturesque grounds next to the museum building. See the sculpture garden and sit near the pond. Make your way to the museum’s store to purchase handmade art, jewellery and hunting equipment. You can also buy carved wildfowl works of art. Founders Lemuel and Steve Ward were acclaimed carvers. Look for a replica of their original workshop in the complex and watch a video presentation of their lives. The museum dates back to 1975 and has been in its current site since 1992\. The Ward Foundation itself was created in the 1960s to promote and preserve wildfowl art. There is a small entrance fee for the museum, with discounts for groups. It is open daily from morning to late afternoon, with a slightly later opening time on Sundays. The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art is a 2-mile (3.2-kilometre) car journey southeast from the centre of Salisbury. Drive past the Salisbury Zoo and Wicomico Memorial Park on your way to the museum, which borders Schumaker Pond. Find parking in the large lot. ### Popular places to visit ![Salisbury Zoo featuring bird life and zoo animals](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6203774/f34a606b-72aa-4f27-b640-b278b7b147e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Salisbury Zoo Get a closer look at jaguars, red wolves and other animals from the Americas in this picturesque zoo near Beaverdam Creek.
