History Colorado Center

History isn't just in the distant past. It's happening now and Denver's History Colorado Center bridges the gap between the history of the state and American West and how what came before impacts the here and now. The museum is designed with multi-generations and cultures in mind. More than 15 changing exhibits across four floors tell the state's diverse stories, the stories of Colorado's Native peoples, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, men and women who came West in search of a better life, Japanese citizens sent to Colorado's internment facility, miners, politicians and more. Not all of the history is pretty. It's full of triumphs, tragedies, courage, perseverance, cruelty, mythology, battles and discoveries. This museum offers a full and honest portrait of Colorado through the centuries including perspective on issues we face today. It's a well-thought-out and thought-provoking place to spend a few hours, with something for all ages.
