Some Offbeat Exhibits Denver Can Show You

With all of the highly recommended museum and art gallery exhibits Denver has on display, it might be a good idea to have a look at some of the more off beat and unusual things. You only have a few days in the city, and you have decided that it would be a lot more fun to see the weird side of Colorado rather than the usual tourist stuff.

You first came up with the idea while you were collecting your luggage at the airport. You had heard about the bizarre and somewhat frightening set of murals in the airport here, but when you actually had a chance to see them up close you were speechless. If this was the kind of crazy thing they put in high traffic public facilities in this town, what on Earth would the stranger little museum have?

As it turned out, weird little museums were not really necessary. Even the main art museum in town has weird and unusual displays. Presenting a selection of Italian Renaissance paintings is one thing, but to fill that installation with pictures which feature creepy looking children is quite another. Still, that didn't sound like something you were that interested in.

More interesting to you is something called Soundwalk. This is apparently an aural installation on Curtis Street which produces odd and amusing sounds for passing pedestrians as they interact with it.

A haunted tour of The Brown Palace sounds like fun. You love those old buildings with their creepy hallways and secret underground tunnels. There is a particularly spooky legend about room 904 and the death of a socialite who lived there for fifteen years which claims that the front desk still receives ghostly phone calls from that room to this day.

One thing you have determined is absolutely necessary is to spend some quality time with those airport murals again. If you check in a few hours early you will have plenty of opportunity to examine these unnerving and surreal pictures. There is something about the subject matter as well as the presentation technique that just feels weird and wrong to you. With any luck, you will be able to take some photographs of them.

Galleries and museums have lots of the exhibits Denver would like visitors to enjoy. For those who prefer strange and unique sights, however, it is often more profitable to look in odd little places for odd little things. Read more about: exhibits denver
