Denver Museum Visit

in pictorial •  6 years ago  (edited)

I'm posting this to share with someone special. It was a trip I took to the Denver Natural History Museum last fall. Or the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Whatever they are calling it these days. I had so many photos that I decided to post it here, rather than overload an email with attachments.

Starting with ... my favorite!
The gem and mineral hall.
Of course.

I had some fun with these guys ... dragon art.
Not totally sure why these were in the Nature and Science Museum and not the art museum.

Dude great photos! I attended the Denver Mineral Show back in September. Great time and they had some amazing crystals and minerals. If you have the chance go visit it next year.
