The mission of the Family Museum is to inspire, connect, and strengthen our community by enriching the lives of our children today and expanding their capacity to shape their future. The Family Museum serves a bi-state Iowa-Illinois Quad City Metropolitan area and surrounding communities within a 65-mile radius of the site. Currently the Family Museum has 19 part time and 14 full time staff with more than 250 volunteers who donated more than 6,300 hours last year. With 44,000 square feet of programming space, the Museum provides interactive exhibits, various drop-in classes, pre-school classes, school and community outreach, dance classes, and a variety of programs geared towards children eight and under. In addition to the hands-on gallery, the Family Museum also offers a large number of programs and classes for every interest. The Family Museum also provides pre-registered classes such as Spanish, pre-school, kindergarten readiness, and dance. The dance program is one of the most popular in the area and offers year-round instruction in ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, modern, and pointe. The Family Museum Dance Program strives to educate and inspire students with a life-long love of dance as a performing art.
