The platypus is one of the few mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young.Male platypuses have venomous spurs on their hind legs, which they use for self-defense during mating season.Platypuses are excellent swimmers and use their webbed feet to navigate through water.They are primarily nocturnal and have a bill equipped with electroreceptors, helping them detect prey in the dark.Platypuses don't have a stomach; instead, food goes directly from their esophagus to their intestines.

Staff is super sweet. For a small midwestern art museum their international relevance is impressive! Thank you.

Last year I went to the Figge for the first time for our Art Educators of Iowa concert and I was absolutely flabbergasted about why I’d never been before. First, the were excellent hosts for our conference but I really want to compliment the curators. When I had visited there was a very diverse showcase of artists, and they were also honoring Dia de los Muertos. The space is large enough to spend an afternoon looking and learning about the artwork. I would recommend looking for any events that they host in the gallery as well; we participated in a sound bath meditation that was really special.

Oh Figgee Art Museum was a Blast from the PastI just happen to go the weekend of Halloween and they had Day of the Dead displays a fortune teller a wet bar a lounge like a little museum and they had a photo place you can put a hat or funky glasses. I did bothe. Drinks excellent. They also have their own gift shop. Parking Great it's the building to the right of Figgee. I believe that is North Very clean place easy access I'm mobility and had plenty of room to push my walker w/ me

This is a wonderful small town museum with a varied collection stretching from European masters to Haitian multimedia. The Ansel Adams collection and the Grant Wood exhibits are not to be missed. Wonderful location on the shore of the Mississippi and there is a nice coffee bar and terrace. Overall a star and we give it four clams ( five stars on the millennial rating) on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.

Very lovely small museum. The person at the front entrance was very welcoming and informative. For a smaller space, there was still plenty to look at, and the 2 featured exhibits at this time were wonderful. It was nice to see some local art mixed in as well. There were plenty of informative and interactive exhibits, too. We went during the free hours on Thursday.

A nice small town museum, not the biggest collection, but decent enough to spend a few hours. I enjoyed both the Snoopy and Haitian art. Lost a star as I was hoping for a little more based on the price point

The Figge is such a great resource for the community! There’s so much to see and learn about here - whether you’re really into art or not. The Life and Art of Charles M. Schultz was fascinating, and the works by local art teachers in #Beyond the Classroom was inspiring! There’s something for everyone here! I’d highly recommend a visit!

Very nice museum space in Davenport. My favorite piece was the bronze horse which appeared to be driftwood. There is also a large selection of pieces from Haiti.
Ample parking and easy to get around.

There was plenty to see and a nice variety of art. It took about 90 minutes to view all the art. I thought $10 was a little expensive, but it was a nice way to spend the afternoon.

This was a really nice experience. Floor upon floor of exhibits. On our visit we saw the amazing Women in Sports over the years exhibit. The clothing worn for each sport was highlighted and displayed. It was fascinating. Stop in the gift shop on your way out! Friendly staff and there are activities for kids and a place where they can do art projects.

Pretty cool place. Saw the exhibit about sports. Mostly it focused on women's role in sports in history. The Mississippi was over her banks at the time we visited the Figge so I added picture and a shirt video of people kayaking down River drive in Davenport.

Stopped to check out the flooding in Davenport... by chance the museum was offering free admission...The displays were the fashion of women in sports. From way back in the early 1800s to present day. My favorites were the nautical influenced outfits and the rebellious but practical motorcycle accessories.Plus the unobstructed view of the flood waters from the top floor was interesting

The Figge is a very nice museum, especially for a city the size of Davenport. The gift shop was wonderful with some beautiful things that were not too expensive.
