Denver Museum of Nature & Science Virtual Tour: Southeast Atrium

The largest indoor footprint at the Museum, with palms and stonework.

This is the space for a big seated dinner. The planting and stone give it warmth that a plain hall would not have, and there is room for a genuinely large crowd without it feeling like a conference centre.

Mixed light — daylight from above, warm fixtures below — so it needs a considered approach after dark.

Photographing at The South and Central 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.
