Denver Museum of Nature & Science Virtual Tour: Morgridge Family Atrium

Glass and daylight, and a genuinely striking room to walk into.

Tall glass gives strong, clean daylight and a view out to the park. It is one of the brightest rooms in the building, which makes it a relief after the exhibit halls.

The light falls off as you move away from the glass, so where people stand matters more here than it looks like it should.

Photographing at The Morgridge Family Atrium

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.
