Who knew? Apparently, many people but not I . . . that Denver has this thriving art scene and tradition. My recent trip and tour in May was highlighted by a brief visit to the Denver Art Museum complex, (where I could have easily spent a day or two), an abbreviated hike through the Denver Botanic Gardens, and plenty of trekking in and around various Downtown districts. These are some samples and / or details of a selection of works that I appreciated and favored while visiting.
