2009Two Denver Museums, Two Special Exhibits
Filed Under (Travel Babel) by Admin on 30-11-2009
Denver Art Museum and Denver Museum of Nature & Science
Museums exert a magnetic pull on me. Whenever I travel –whether to a significant city with world-class museums or a small town with a tiny museum filled with local teasures and memorabilia — I visit as many as I can. We are members of several local museums, including the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and I visit but not often enough. In the last 10 days, I went to the DAM when I had time in downtown Denver between scheduled events and then to Nature & Science with friends visiting for Thanksgiving. I spent most of the time in both museums seeing special exhibits, and I recommend both. FWIW, I went to the art museum on an uncrowded Wednesday afternoon, and four of us visited Nature & Science on the busy Friday of Thanksgiving weekend.
