Many do not know the deep artistic history in Iowa with roots in Muscatine, but the Art Center will bring you up to speed with a wonderful long-standing permanent collection and rotating temporary exhibits of local (and not so-local) artists, often containing pieces for sale. Go there and leave with a treasure, or two!

We did a quick three day trip to Muscatine Iowa and this was recommended to us by the front desk at the Merrill Hotel. It was only a block away and well worth the time. Admission is donation only and plan on spending about an hour.

We were in town for my work. I saw this on trip advisor & figured it would be a cool place to let the family explore. There were people strolling around and even a couple fishing. The grounds are very clean & everything is well maintained. On your way in look for the random Ronald McDonald in someone’s back yard. The kids found that hilarious.
