During our ongoing response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Welcome page is the best resource for up-to-date guidelines. Thank you!
Artifacts, stories, and art intermingle to tell the tale of Colorado and the American West. The museum is designed for multi-generational audiences and consists of over fifteen exhibits spanning four floors, capturing the pioneering and individualistic spirit of Colorado.
Colorado’s story is constantly evolving, and new exhibitions and displays American Democracy: A Great Leap Of Faith, Hecho en Colorado, What’s Your Story?, Women Behaving Badly, Game Changers and "Merciless Indian Savages" bridge the gap between the history of this great state and its impact on the here and now.

"Interactive displays that document the history of Colorado ... the good times, hard times and disturbing times. Honest and comprehensive museum." - November 2019, TripAdvisor
A lot more than expected
"Prior to going, I was thinking this would just be another museum, boy was I wrong. Very well put together. Enjoyed seeing a place for the young to play and learn. The thought that went into the exhibits were really something else. We enjoyed the way environmental issues were addressed without downgrading anyone's intelligence." - September 2019, TripAdvisor
