Legacy of Freight explores the history of the Haskell & Barker Car Company, which shaped Michigan City’s freight rail industry from the 1830s to the early 1900s. Through historic photos, stories of workers, and a detailed scale model of the factory, the exhibit highlights the company’s lasting impact on industry and community.

The 90s invites visitors to relive a pivotal era as they journey year-by-year through the 1990s—from landmark events like the fall of the Berlin Wall and Y2K anxieties to the rise of cell phones, the internet, and Denver's economic growth—with immersive displays of pop-culture icons, artifacts, and a recreated Blockbuster video store.

But We Have Something to Say presents bold contemporary Native art that reclaims stories too often overlooked.

Where is Denver’s Chinatown? uncovers the history and erasure of Denver’s once-thriving Chinatown through photographs, artifacts, oral histories, and reimagined architectural models. Created in partnership with UC Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning and community collaborators, the exhibit honors Chinese American stories while inviting visitors to envision a more inclusive future for the city.

Through the Lens highlights the work of Japanese-born photographer Frank Muramoto, who documented life in southern Colorado from the 1920s to 1950s.
