I'm sure others have commented this, but this plan is only open Friday and Saturday until 2pm, so…read moreplan your visit accordingly! I flew into Denver Saturday morning and this was the first stop that I made. I didn't make a reservation as the last time I had checked they were not fully booked, and I also wasn't sure about any flight delays. Admission is $17 for adults. The staff working were incredibly knowledgeable and the history of the museum and it was a joy to listen to them and read more at the different exhibits. When my friend and I went, we were the only two there. I truly feel like this is a hidden gem to go and learn more about history. My friend has lived in Denver her entire life and she learned a lot!

Worth a visit!…read more Interested in learning more about Black Americans and there journey west, post civil war? This is the place for you. I was visiting Denver and really glad I made this my last stop on my trip. Located in a historical home turned museum. Created by Paul Stewart who had a passion for collecting artifacts, photos & researching at libraries about the people that lived in this area. Such as Five Points a thriving Black community. Topics include, Black cowboys, that were vital to the area, Buffalo Soliders, Dr. Justina Ford and several other medical professionals that provided community health to those in need because they were unable to seek care at white establishments. The day I visited, I was greeted by Daphne, with a beautiful smile, and she gave some insight about the museum. She offered hand outs as well. Cost is $15 dollars entrance. And that's a steal to learn more about American history, not just Black history. It's a small place, but packs a lot of knowledge & history in a small space. You can really take your time and ask questions after if you like. Max it will take a 45 minutes to an hour to enjoy the museum, I did it in 30 minutes. You can go online to specify a time of your visit. I wasn't able to pay online, but Daphne ensures they are working on that. There's even book nook for purchases if so inclined.

I'm always looking for different things to do and the Mid-Career Smear collection was different. We…read moreparked at a local parking garage on California and 19th St ( $20 for max hours) within walking distance to the historic Colorado Building. Also available is metered street parking. We had a reservation for the collection at 1:45 so we ate at the Tuscany Coffee & Deli (on the 16th St mall) for lunch and while we waited for our appointment. Initially we were confused about the collection hours and we left a VM and emailed but no response to see if we could go to the collection before our scheduled appointment (which we did anyway). A employee explained the appointment was to tell how many people would attend at a certain time. We arrived to find the building doors were locked but luckily a gentleman who works there let us in and also let us into the elevator to the 5th floor where we were greeted by an employee who explained about the visit. We were free to roam the entire 5th floor of each office at our leisure (only saw one other couple) that held exhibits from contemporary artists from around the world. There were information in the rooms providing brief descriptions of each exhibit. Some of the items were interactive. The collection is free and open to the public (Wednesday through Friday with hours from 11am to 5pm). For more information, please visit their site on Facebook or at their website.

The collection of art and items here is definitely very eclectic, but is also very thought provoking at the same time. This collection is definitely much nicer than most free collections that I've seen in other cities, and I would have no problem paying a small fee to visit it again. As the rooms were not busy during my visit, I had the opportunity to slowly enjoy the art - this was good as some areas have quite a bit of items to see in a small area. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Denver and enjoy art -- especially unusual and creative art.

The permanent space had a scale model of the Pyramid of the Magician in Uxmal, Yucatan Mexico built by the WPA in 1930. Additional information regarding cultures in from Mexico they Latin America and into South America. I went to the Denver Art Musemn and History Colorado for my other free visits tonight.

I particularly enjoyed the portion about the Jewish migration to Colorado and the Jewish-owned businesses established way back then that are still around today. In addition to the viewing the exhibit, we celebrated World Kugel Day out in the museum's yard. If you've never had kugel (we hadn't), it's a sort of noodle casserole that can be savory or sweet. We sampled most all of the varieties entered into the kugel tasting contest. One of the kugel bakers was none other than Daniel Asher, Executive Chef of Linger and Root Down Restaurants. I was excited to try his Thai Coconut Curry Kugel with Roasted Peach-Sriracha Jam. It was quite tasty, but not my favorite. I liked the winning kugel better: Artichoke & Brie Kugel created by Debbie Foster. We also enjoyed some free frozen yogurt and sorbet from Menchie's, watched some artists paint, and heard some live music courtesy of Rocky Mountain Jewgrass. The Mizel Museum is an unexpected and delightful part of a quiet residential neighborhood. I'm pleased that it's within walking distance of my home. I hope you'll plan to drop by sometime and learn something new.
