The Denver Museum of Science and Nature

Those considering an investment in Denver lofts will be reassured to know that Denver is a cosmopolitan city with a wide array of entertainment choices, many of them educational in nature.  Facilities such as the Denver Museum of Science and Nature provide Denver visitors and residents with the kind of quality experience that might be more customary in the excellent museums of Los Angeles and New York.  The museum not only features a set of permanent exhibits, but also joins major world museums in featuring visiting exhibits.

One of the most interesting of these in recent memory is the Real Pirates exhibit, which portrays the adventures of the Whydah, a ship that served as a slave ship before being converted for use as a pirate vessel. The Real Pirates exhibit features more than 200 authentic artifacts salvaged from the wreck of the vessel, which as the first fully verified and authenticated pirate ship to be located and excavated in United States territorial waters.  This exhibit will visit only ten cities, Denver among them, making it clear that Denver's museums are indeed considered world-class.

Regular exhibits at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature include a display of Egyptian mummies that demonstrates the intersection between the disciples of science and history, a comprehensive look into the properties of gems and minerals, and Prehistoric Journey, which allows children and adults to travel to a time more than three billion years ago when life on earth first began to develop in earnest.
