Big Duck Scavenger Hunt Clues

As part of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum's 20th Anniversary Weekend (July 24–26, 2026), MMAM is celebrating with a community-wide Big Duck Scavenger Hunt across the Winona and La Crosse area.

Each morning from Monday, July 20, through Friday, July 24, a new clue will be released at 6am. 


Clues

Monday, July 20

Three curious ducks with feathers so bright
Played hide-and-seek in La Crosse all night.
One blooms where friends meet,
One taps to the Bandshell's beat,
One nestles in branches just out of sight.

Tuesday, July 21

If duckies could whisper, here's what they'd say:
"Come find us! We've scattered ourselves for the day!
One rests by the flowers so pretty and fair,
One waits inside with a welcoming air,
One stays by the trees, one by 
WINONA to brighten your way."

Wednesday, July 22

Announced at 6am on July 22.

Thursday, July 23

Announced at 6am on July 23.

Friday, July 24

Announced at 6am on July 24.


Important: Please leave the ducks where you find them so everyone has a chance to participate. If you find one, snap a selfie with the duck (or take a photo of the duck), post it on social media, tag the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, and use #MMAMBigDuck to be entered into our prize drawing. Each photo you submit is another chance to win!
