Enjoying the Figge Art Museum

Another of the 100 Places is the Figge Art Museum in Davenport. This glass clad building is itself an interesting sight.

Linda and I stepped inside and were soon admiring the collection of prints by John James Audubon. These beautiful, life-size prints are fascinating to see. In a corner of the hall showing the prints was a video screen telling Audobon's story and showing how the prints were made. On another floor, we saw a display of glass and pottery. Paintings, fibers, and educational displays filled another floor. Drawings and paintings from the local schools were shown in one hall. It was a pleasure to see the community reflected in the displays.

I'd be very happy to return to see what's on display another day.
