Putnam Museum and Science Center

Recently the Putnam opened the World Culture Gallery right next to Unearthing Ancient Egypt. The space is a partially semi-permanent exhibit and partially featured exhibit. This space connects the big theater lobby to the lower level galleries. Also, the Putnam received a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for an ongoing community collaboration exploring regional history. This will help the museum update River, Prairie and People. Currently they have a reflection space at the end of the exhibit to collect community feedback on the update. “Over multiple years and phases, the Putnam Museum and Science Center will partner across the community to assure the exhibit reflects the modern era, our shared experience as Quad Citizens, and the rich cultural diversity of our community. The update will bring the exhibit to the current day, including the extraordinary accomplishments and challenges of our times. Additions are also planned to reflect stories that are missing from the exhibit, including those that reflect the diversity of our region,” explains Leslie Klipsch, Vice President of Marketing & Sales. Come be part of this important project!
