    Unanticipated Closures

    The staff and volunteers at the Morrison Natural History Museum make every effort to honor the schedule posted here. However, there are certain situations that force us to close the MNHM. Closures will be posted on the Event Calendar, found on the homepage of this website, as well as the Museum's Facebook and Twitter feed.

  • If the National Weather Service issues a Winter Storm Warning (heavy snow only) or Blizzard Warning for the Denver Metro Area, the museum will be closed.
  • The MNHM relies on volunteers to operate. At this time, the museum employs one full-time and one part-time staff. Family emergencies do arise with little notice and they can force staff to close the museum. We ask for your patience and understanding in these situations.

  • The schedules listed here supersede all other listings. Prices and hours may change without notice.
