QC, THAT'S WHERE THERE'S A MUSEUM FOR EVERYONE
May 30, 2023
Quad Cities – Visit Quad Cities and area museums have teamed up again to bring Quad Cities Museum Week on June 11-18, 2023. For all the details, go to www.qcmuseumweek.com. Museums throughout the Quad Cities regional destination will welcome visitors with activities, new exhibits, discounted admissions, tours, special programs, and more.
New this year, you can pick up a Museum Week Passport at any participating museum during QC Museum Week. Get the pass stamped at three or more museums and drop your passport in the box at the final museum you visit. Three lucky winners will receive gift baskets filled with goodies, tickets, memberships, and two vouchers for free admission to the Beyond Van Gogh Exhibit at the RiverCenter in downtown Davenport.
Quad Cities' museums offer adventures, discovery, and hours of fun. There is a museum in the QC to meet everyone's interests, from art, science, and technology, to local, national, and world history. There are exhibits and stories just waiting to be discovered.
“This is the 8th year for Quad Cities Museum Week, and the event continues to grow as more people participate in this annual event to celebrate our cultural assets in the QC,” says Charlotte Doehler-Morrison, Vice President Marketing & Communications, Visit Quad Cities. “Sixteen museums are participating this year, and each of our museums offers something completely different to appeal to various audiences and ages.
