How QCCT Impacts the Putnam

The Putnam Museum and Science Center has been igniting human potential and inspiring our diverse community to learn about and care for our world and all its people for 154 years. History, science and culture come alive at the Smithsonian-affiliated Putnam, with interactive exhibits that invite exploration, experimentation and fun. These are learning opportunities that would not be possible without the support of the Quad Cities Cultural Trust.
