Biophilia: Nature Reimagined Events

This event is one of many we're hosting inspired by and connected to Biophilia: Nature Reimagined, a new multisensory exhibition on view for a limited time May 5 through August 11, 2024. See what else we're offering this spring and summer to further explore your connection to art and nature.

The Sensory Garden, located in the Clarence V. Laguardia Foundation Courtyard at the DAM, was constructed thanks to a generous grant from the Colorado Garden Foundation. Additional support for programming is provided by the Institute for Museum and Library Services, NextFifty Initiative, Colorado Creative Industries, and the residents who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Special thanks to our colleagues at the Denver Botanic Gardens for their contribution to the project.
