Denver Museum of Nature & Science Virtual Tour: Boettcher Plaza

Open-air space at the front of the Museum, good for larger receptions.

The plaza gives you scale and the building’s architecture as a backdrop, which is useful when a guest list outgrows the interior rooms.

It is the one Museum space where weather is a real factor, so it tends to work best as part of a plan rather than the whole plan.

Photographing at Boettcher Plaza

We shot this tour, which means we have lit and walked this space ourselves. If you are weighing it up against the other options here, our Denver Museum of Nature & Science photographer’s guide covers the whole property — the light, the timing and how a day actually flows through it.
