The Barber Den

The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver was established in 1996, initially housed in a renovated fish market. However, it moved to its current spacious facility on Delgany Street in 2007. The building was designed to promote creative experimentation with art and ideas by minimizing the boundaries between the city outside and the galleries inside. The exhibit spaces feature hidden skylights that allow natural light, while the museum's windows provide a glimpse of Denver's streetscape. Visitors to the museum can explore a diverse range of regional, national, and international art exhibitions that rotate in and out of the museum. These exhibitions usually stay for two to four months, as no permanent collection exists. The museum also hosts numerous events throughout the year, including a summer rooftop concert series on Thursday evenings. Visitors can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a glass of wine at the museum's cafe and bar and shop for unique items from around the world in the compact museum shop.

Dinosaur Ridge is a must-visit site for anyone interested in prehistoric Colorado. Here, you can travel back in time by more than 100 million years. The open-air exhibits showcase genuine dinosaur bones preserved in sandstone and over 300 footprints of dinosaurs found in the top layers of sand and mudstone. If you're looking for a closer look at the beasts of the past, be sure to check out the Dinosaur Ridge Exhibit Hall. This site is exceptional because it was here that the world's first Stegosaurus was discovered. In addition, there are more than 250 remarkable Cretaceous dinosaur tracks, dozens of Jurassic dinosaur bones, and many other trace fossils. Dinosaur Ridge is considered one of the best dinosaur track sites in North America and is among the top such sites in the world, according to a board of respected paleontologists. If you're interested in helping to preserve these treasures, please plan a visit to Dinosaur Ridge.
