History Colorado Center

History in Colorado Goes High-Tech and Hands-On

Denver’s newest cultural attraction, the History Colorado Center, will open to the public on Saturday, April 28, 2012. Designed to ignite imaginations of all ages about Colorado history, this new museum and hub for civic engagement creates a rich experience for visitors through exhibits and programs that will blend technology, media, environments and artifacts. 

The History Colorado Center will be a place for self-discovery, inspiration, scholarship and fun.  It will feature original high-tech and hands-on interactive multimedia along with authentic artifacts and evocative stories of Colorado’s diverse people.

As a new Smithsonian Affiliate, the History Colorado Center is sure to make the “must see” list for Denver visitors, history buffs, families — anyone who is attracted to the allure that is Colorado.

The History Colorado Center is located at 1200 Broadway in Denver’s Golden Triangle Museum District and Civic Center cultural complex.
