The John Deere headquarters in Moline holds one of the best corporate art collections in the world, thanks in large part to the vision of former chairman Bill Hewitt.

The collection is stunning and diverse, containing over 2,000 museum-quality pieces.

In addition, the John Deere headquarters building itself is a work of art, designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen.

Listen to the conversation with Nathan Augustine about the history of the art collection, the design of the iconic corporate world headquarters building, and how the diverse art collection it holds reflects one of Deere’s core principles — innovation.
