Join us for Quad Cities Museum Week and enjoy free admission, hands-on activities, and special prizes!

QC, THAT’S WHERE THERE’S A MUSEUM FOR EVERYONE!

Big and small, our Quad Cities’ museums are packed full of adventure, discovery, and 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 for you to discover.

2023 marks the 8th year of Quad Cities Museum Week. It’s all about celebrating our region’s museums, unique collections, and importance to the QC.

During Quad Cities Museum Week, local museums offer discounts, special events/exhibits, or tours, making it the perfect time for families and friends to get out and explore.

During QC Museum Week, the GAHC&M will be offering free admission. We will also have a special station on our 4th floor space with activities for children, make and take crafts, and interactive learning opportunities with artifacts from our education collection. Visitors will be able to touch helmets and equipment used during World War I, learn about German holidays, and explore immigration history as well as local history in an engaging way.

Come on out and explore! Post your Museum Week experiences on social media using #QCMuseumWeek.

New this year, pick up a Museum Week Pass at any museum and have it stamped when you visit a museum during this special celebration. Visit at least 3 museums and drop your pass in the provided boxes that will be available at every museum. Three lucky winners will be drawn to receive a QC Museum Week gift basket.
