The Bix Beiderbecke Museum and Archive are a downtown Davenport Museum honoring the legacy of jazz musician Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke, a Davenport native.
The museum houses the world’s largest collection of artifacts from Bix's life, including artifacts from the lives of various musicians who played with Bix throughout his career. Their permanent exhibit space gives visitors the unique opportunity to learn about one of America’s most influential Jazz Icons, his colleagues, and their influences on American music to this day.
