Vision: Become the world’s leader in interpreting and protecting the life, history and culture of our rivers, to create a more global, knowledgeable and engaged citizen.
Mission: National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium’s mission is to inspire stewardship by creating experiences where history and rivers come alive.
Since 2003 the Museum has served 2.5 million visitors and has established itself as the leading cultural and environmental facility in the region and largest tourism attraction in a 150 mile radius. The Museum & Aquarium was created with outstanding public private partnership and opened in 2003, and doubled the size of its campus in 2010. According to the Dubuque Arts and Culture Commission, the museum now accounts for $10.5 million in economic impact. In addition, we average well over 175,000 visitors per year, which is three times the entire population of Dubuque offering tourists and residents alike, the opportunity to explore a unique perspective on the history and environment of Mississippi River and Rivers of America.
