Learn About World Cultures through Artifacts

The World Culture Gallery hosts an array of incredible artifacts. Many of these were collected and donated by world travelers from the Quad Cities, who sought to help the community learn about other ways of living through the unique objects found across the world. 

You can read more about the artifacts here

As part of the World Culture Gallery, we have a rotating exhibit which focuses on a more specific section of the world and expands our understanding of it.
