Museums
The Quad Cities punches above its weight when it comes to museums and cultural institutions. The Figge Art Museum in downtown Davenport houses an impressive collection spanning centuries, while the Putnam Museum offers natural history, science, and regional heritage exhibits. Across the river, the Rock Island Arsenal Museum tells the story of one of America’s most historic military installations.
The QC museum landscape also includes the German American Heritage Center, the Quad Cities Botanical Center, and numerous smaller galleries and historical societies that preserve the unique story of this Mississippi River community.
