Visit Quad Cities and the area’s museums are teaming up again to bring Quad Cities Museum Week from June 5-12, 2022.
Throughout the region, museums will welcome Quad Citizens and visitors alike with exciting activities, new exhibits, discounted admissions, tours, special programs, and more.
Quad Cities’ museums offer adventures, discovery, and hours of fun. There is a QC museum to meet everyone’s interests – from art, science and technology to local, national and world history.
“The Quad Cities is home to more than 10 museums,” said Charlotte Doehler-Morrison, vice president of Visit Quad Cities’ marketing and communications. “Each of our museums offers something completely different to appeal to various audiences and ages. We invite people to get out and explore with family and friends, and discover new stories, experiences, and adventures.”
