History Colorado Center
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 Building Denver, Borderlands of Southern Colorado, Forty Years on the 'Fax, Liberated: America Fights for Democracy in World War II, and "Brick & Soul" by Armando Geneyro bridge the gap between the history of this great state and its impact on the here and now.

Great place for all ages
"The exhibits were interesting, hands-on, and kept everyone in the family entertained. The facility is well cared for and easy to maneuver. We enjoyed our visit immensely." - July 2020
Clean and Safe
"The museum was well laid out. The exhibits were meaningful and interesting. The museum was super clean and I felt safe in the current COVID conditions." - July 2020
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
