- The expansive “Living West” exhibition focuses on Colorado’s environmental challenges, especially its limited water resources. Displays on pre-modern Native American life and the perils of modern farming in a semi-arid climate are punctuated by the dramatization of a Dust Bowl disaster that never fails to startle visitors with its intensity.
- “Backstory: Western American Art in Context” will open just in time for the BHC.
