Works of art

Art is meant to inspire a reaction. It can amuse or aggravate. It educates and challenges. It soothes and quiets. Done well, it does it all. We are lucky to have a top-notch art museum in Denver. It’s affectionately known as The DAM.

I took the big kids there on a recent Saturday. Our aim was to investigate the Cities of Splendor exhibition for the Mile High Mamas. It was a serene experience. There’s nothing like Renaissance music and images of the Madonna and Child to put a stillness in the most hyper of souls. Proof: The kids really enjoyed it. Local friends and those planning a vacation here this summer might want to pop over to Mile High Mamas and learn the details of this great activity and local resource.

After, we explored the modern art collection.
