Although it’s possible to spend hours delving into the life and art of abstract expressionist Clyfford Still, museum visitors who only have an hour to spare won’t feel like they’re missing anything after making a quick tour of the museum’s nine galleries. Still wanted all of his art to have a home together so that people could better understand his work as a whole, and when John Hickenlooper was mayor of Denver, he worked to win the collection and push construction of the museum. Situated adjacent to other cultural attractions, including the Denver Art Museum, the Still Museum is the perfect refuge for anyone who needs a quiet hour to immerse themselves in creativity.

The phrase “hidden gem” is like nails on a chalkboard to those who consider it overused, but its meaning is surprisingly maintained at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science with Chicky, a taxidermied prairie dog. Those in the know can find the little fella waving from inside a Brazilian amethyst geode in the Gems and Minerals exhibition, a mainstay on the first floor. The hidden gem is just one of many touches at the museum that makes it worth the $25.95 admission price for adults; kids and seniors can visit for less.
