Besides exhibits on “The Power of Poison” and “Vasily Konovalenko: Gem Carvings of Russian Folk Life,” the Denver Nature and Science Museum had plenty to keep me occupied on a very hot July afternoon.
The museum featured dinosaur fossils, exhibits of Colorado and North American wildlife, and an extensive gems and minerals collection. It also has a wing devoted to Egyptian mummies, as well as Botswanan and South American wildfile.
Here are some of the highlights of my visit.
