Davenport, IA – Science Center will be opening a new exhibit, Sacred Places.
The exhibit encourages the exploration of dozens of sacred sites across the globe. Through stories from teenagers and adults, guests are invited to expand their understanding of different beliefs and ways of worshipping. While you hear their stories, you can tell yours and promote wider conversations of what a sacred place means to you.
Produced by the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the traveling exhibit includes artifacts like stained glass, statues, and objects used for prayer. Dozens of belief systems are represented, and there are 6 major immersive environments that showcase the world’s major religions.
From Christina Kastell, Curator of History and Anthropology at the Putnam Museum, “We are so excited to be able to offer the exhibit, ‘Sacred Places’ to the Quad City area. The exhibit allows guests to not only explore places around the world that many consider to be sacred, but also to see the beautiful objects related to these places.”
The exhibit will be available until September 1st.
The museum is open 7 days a week at 1717 W 12 th Street Davenport, Iowa. For more information, visit www.putnam.org.
