Museum of Denver Initial Feasibility Study

Link to Executive Summary
Nearly every community in Colorado has its own museum. Except Denver. Is it time for that to change? With case studies as benchmarks and a survey of potential visitors, this initial feasibility study provides a basis for assessing the viability of a new Museum of Denver and imagining what it could be. The initial findings suggest that broad community support exists for a Museum of Denver, offer guidance on interpretive themes Denverites would like to explore through the museum, and concluded that the Museum of Denver could be a successful addition to the city's already-rich cultural fabric.
