Museum Takes Artful View of Plains Wildlife
A combination art and natural history museum that focuses on the Great Plains of the American West is opening Saturday about 10 miles south of Denver.
The $50-million, 100,000-square-foot Wildlife Experience offers paintings, sculpture, photography and taxidermy; a 315-seat theater for large-format films; a cafe; and a retail shop. Artists include painters Robert Bateman and Guy Coheleach and sculptor Veryl Goodnight, whose 1,200-pound life-sized bronze “Back From the Brink” depicts a woman caring for bison calves.
The museum will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Adult admission is $6 for the museum, $6 for the theater or $10 for a combined ticket. Children’s prices are $3 for the museum, $3 for the theater or $5 for a combined ticket. (720) 488-3300, www.wildlifeexperience.org.
