Holiday Histories

Free with General Admission

All month long, explore the wonder of holidays from around the world with artifacts on loan from the Mizel Museum. Dive deeper into the parallels between Jewish immigration and expansion in Denver and the history of the Four Mile House through panels and works brought to Four Mile by the Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Society and the University of Denver. Share your own traditions in the interactive Tradition Test Kitchen, where families can read together, share their favorite recipes, and create crafts inspired by the works in the exhibition.

December Delights brings you new crafts weekly for the whole month of December! Create cards from scrap materials, fill a Christmas cracker with surprises, or build mini versions of your favorite holiday decor.
