DAVENPORT, Iowa — The Figge Art Museum is offering free admission for three months.

From Sunday, June 12 through Sunday, September 25, 2016 anyone who visits the museum will get in free of charge, said a spokesperson from the Figge. This is all thanks to the support of the Bechtel Trusts and John Deere Classic.

During this time, exhibits including: “The Wonderful World of Oz: Selections From the Willard Carroll/Tom Wilhite Collection,” “Picturing the Prairie: Tallgrass QC,” and  “David Plowden: An American Master, Corn Zone.”  The permanent collection galleries will also be available.

“It’s exciting that everyone in the community and surrounding areas can experience all the Figge has to offer without having to pay an admission fee,” said Executive Director Tim Schiffer. “There is no doubt the museum will be bustling all summer long,” he added.

An employee at the Figge said this is the second year a grant has allowed for free admission.
