Denver Museum of Nature & Science

n
  The wide variety of subjects covered in the exhibit halls of this museum make it interesting for visitors of all ages. The museum has more than 90 mounted animal dioramas, something that we don’t like much because most of the time the animals have been needlessly killed for trophies. However they have been superbly mounted in lifelike poses  and the background scenery paintings are excellent. We spent hours looking through the other exhibits in the rest of the museum.

  The museum is accessible. The only exhibit that is difficult to see is the one with Konovalenko’s folk art carvings made with gem stones and minerals. The display cases are too high making it hard to view the entire sculpture.

  Small RVs and vans will fit in the parking lot backed up over the grass. Parking is available along the street by the park if your RV is too big. Weekends may be very busy with no open parking spots anywhere.  Museum
