Figge Art Museum

The Figge Art Museum is a contemporary art museum on the Mississippi River bank in downtown Davenport. The glass and steel structure displays thousands of artworks spanning from the 1500s to today.

The museum opened in 2005 following a design by British architect David Chipperfield. Its construction was part of a broader effort to revitalize Davenport's waterfront district.

The museum features works from Haiti, Mexico, and the Midwest, reflecting the artistic heritage of these regions. Visitors encounter art forms and perspectives that reveal how communities expressed themselves through visual creation.

The museum extends its hours on Thursdays if you prefer to visit later in the evening. Check current access information and visitor guidelines before your trip.

The museum holds the archives and personal collections of Grant Wood, the renowned American painter, and preserves his only self-portrait. Art enthusiasts from around the world visit specifically to encounter this rare holding.
