Denver’s most popular museum is undoubtedly the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, not surprisingly since Denverites take such pride in their pristine mile-high, Rocky Mountain metropolis. With an IMAX theater and interactive exhibits, the Denver museum is a hit with families and visitors. Paying homage to Denver’s rail history (Denver’s scenic Rio Grande railway that blasted through the Rocky Mountains instead of going around), Denver’s Forney Museum of Transportation is a unique Denver museum devoted to everything that travels on track. Home to the massive Big Boy, Denver’s rail museum is a must for transportation buffs. A cosmopolitan city with a Western heart, Denver’s Art Museum houses an impressive collection of Western American art and significant collections of world, Native American and textile art.
