Check out the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls, and Toys to explore an impressive collection of unique and classic toys. The exhibits showcase a wide range of antique dolls, miniature houses, trains, planes, cars, giant teddy bears, foreign toys, and much more, giving visitors an insight into the cultural significance of toys and their evolution over the years. The Museum staff uses the collection of over 20,000 objects to stage four significant exhibit changes each year, ranging from vintage Star Wars toys to artisan dollhouses and from exquisite antique dolls to well-loved toy soldiers. The objects collected from generations of Coloradans serve as an excellent stepping stone into art and history, and many items, like the Japanese Friendship Doll Miss Yokohama, make history more accessible and open the door to a new experience.

Did you know that Opera Colorado is one of the driving forces of the city's arts and entertainment scene? Their high-quality performances have captivated audiences in Denver and beyond since 1981. They bring the craft of Opera to life in a way that only they can, with stories like Cinderella, The Marriage of Figaro, Otello, and Romeo and Juliet. Not only do they have mainstage performances at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, but they also explore in-person and digital initiatives outside of the opera house. They present new works annually and have a nationally recognized Artist in Residence Program that trains the next generation of opera performers. Additionally, their education and community programs reach more than 45,000 students and adults annually. Opera Colorado truly is a gem in the world of Opera.
