Denver held their first Night At The Museums in 2008, and it was such a huge success, they brought it back this year. This idea was birthed in Europe, an evening where museums would stay open late, and patrons could shuttle from one museum to another completely free. Denver uses this event to help kick off Denver Arts Week.
I love this idea! What a great date night, where you can choose from any number of museums to suit your cultural taste, or give you a chance to explore someplace you've never been. Last we we took full advantage of the free shuttle from Cherry Creek Mall, but they were not anticipating such a response and the wait time was a little long. We explored The Denver Art Museum, and even ran into a few friends. Unfortunately time did not allow us to visit another museum.
Tonight we are skipping the shuttle, and driving ourselves to the Denver Museum Of Nature & Science. We haven't been in a while, and have not yet seen the Expedition Health exhibit. Sadly, we missed out on getting tickets for the new Genghis Khan exhibit.
I encourage you to support your local museums!

Your husband likes to go to museums? Lucky duck. Next you'll be telling me he likes to see the ballet. ;-)
I laughed at mamabirdsblog as my hubby likes both museums and the ballet. Too bad you missed Genghis Khan. We saw it in Edmonton and it was fantastic.
