The Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s Silk Road exhibit is around for just one more month! Be sure to check it out! Note that you need an additional ticket to see this one but it is well worth it. You aren’t allowed to take photos, but this link has a lot of good ones.
I really enjoyed the live Silk Worms and can now understand why silk is so expensive! I also loved how as you travel through the various cities on the silk road, that they have detailed sections of what they brought with them to trade, and how the transported it. The night market even allows you to smell the various spices! Â It is interesting to see the various cultures that took part in this method of trade. And there was a wonderful interactive section on a touchscreen table to learn more about the route!
Silk Road is open until May 3rd at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Â This is also one of the first exhibits in the new Anschutz Gallery extension that was completed last year.
Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.
