What travelers are saying
- @david_b_lewis38 contributionsVery interesting view of local history, largely from the perspective of the Indigenous tribes that were displaced. Exhibits don't pull any punches about the brutal and unfair history.
Missing some basic information i.e. about territory's path to statehood, etc., but read between the lines.
Always looks closed; we passed by half a dozen times (our hotel was across the street) before realizing that it was open. Check hours/times.
Exhibits on 5 floors. Well worth a few hours.
Note: the restaurant, "Rendezvous Cafe" also always looks closed, but it is terrific, with vegan specialties.Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The house is gorgeous and their exhibits are interesting and thoughtfully constructed. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and thoughtful. She not only answered all our questions, but she also told great stories and contextualized items. I feel like we just scratched the surface of what this museum has to offer and I hope to be able to go back again soon. I will note that there are a lot of ways that you can engage with this museum. If you’re interested mostly in women’s history, ask questions focus on those items, but if you’re interested mostly in the house and the family that lived there, you can ask more questions about that. Our tour was small and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, so I imagine that this could be a different experience based on peoples interests.Written May 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- An0nyMsTucson, AZ1,573 contributionsThe historic artifacts are mostly things you'd see in other museums of the West, though they do add to the story of the Black Americans who lived with them. For me, the best part of this interesting little museum was the rows of photos that line the walls. Be sure to read the captions; they'll give you a much better idea of the peoples' lives and achievements.Written November 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris-From-MDWashington DC, DC130 contributionsThe only reason I do not rate this place as Excellent is because it is so tiny that, even as the displays are fantastic, there is very little to see, and hardly enough to warrant the place being called a museum. It might be better titled Casa de las Americas, to lessen the expectation of the visitor, and the deception.. What is on display is interesting though. The place is located in Denver's so-called art district, with lots of little galleries and many interesting murals. The Uber driver recommended I visit the place during the day and said this is a no-go place after dark.Written October 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dejoseph7Asheville, NC2 contributionsi spent a wonderful hour or so viewing the exhibits, talking with Penny, the Education Director, about their programs. Really enjoyed the art, especially the oral histories on video, very rich experience of Jewish culture!Written January 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
