Denver: DAM … Martin Building

And still we have more to see!

When we visited the Denver Art Museum [DAM] in June, we only managed to wander through the Hamilton Building … one of the two premises of the museum … located in Denver’s Golden Triangle.

Going back today, we figured we could go through the Martin Building from top to bottom and see everything we missed the first time around. Hah! We only got through floors seven through four … and that only because we gave a fairly cursory look-see around floors four and five.

True, we arrived about 30 minutes after the museum opened at 10:00a … stopped to shop at the Middle Eastern supermarket on our way to the DAM.

True, we took time to have lunch at The Ponti with our friends, Sonia & Boris … great to see them again since our last get together in June.

True, we left well before the museum closed for the day … we wanted to get home before the forecasted rain storm totally muddled up the traffic.

Even if we hadn’t done all that, however, I don’t think we’d have been able to get through all the exhibits before our feet gave out. There’s just so much to see at the museum.

We’ll just have to plan a third trip back to the DAM. But it’s doubtful we’ll manage to squeeze it in before we head to Europe in September for our fall/winter trip. Oh well … something to look forward to in the new year!

By the by … we did beat the storm. The impending rainstorm had already obscured the mountains and the foothills by the time we got to Colorado Springs. But the heavy winds and buckets of rain held off until we were nice and cozy at home.

[I took some 200 photos today at the DAM. Difficult to select just 10% of them to share in this footprint. If you want to see more images from today, you’ll find my online gallery at this link … https://eenusa.smugmug.com/North-America-US-Can….]Weiterlesen
