Quad-Cities Museum Week Postponed
Quad Cities Museum Week, previously scheduled for June 6 – 14, has been postponed. Museums, in partnership with Visit Quad Cities, determined that the dates were not feasible for all museums to participate because of current COVID-19 guidelines in the Quad Cities bi-state region.
The museums and Visit Quad Cities will regroup in July to discuss moving forward with a September or October date.
Quad Cities Museum Week launched in June of 2015 through efforts by Visit Quad Cities and area museums. The goal was to create an annual event that celebrates the individuality of each museum’s experience and encourages people to explore and learn at more than 16 area museums in our region. Since then, the celebration has become a favorite among Quad Citizens and visitors.
