Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, Colorado, sits the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum. The 3,500-square-foot museum is a joint partnership of the Colorado Mountain Club, the American Alpine Club and the National Geographic Society. This one-of-a-kind facility will allow visitors to live the ascent of the world’s most inspiring mountains through:

  • Educational displays, including a 135-square-foot scale model of Mount Everest and the Khumbu region - one of only two of its kind in the world
  • Interactive exhibits on Colorado’s highest mountains, what it’s like to sleep on a mountain face, and how mountains have inspired art
  • Sights of breathtaking photos and climbers’ personal stories that enrich the learning experience
  • One of the world’s largest libraries dedicated to mountaineering research and education

    Visit the museum virtual photo tour here! Or visit us in person at 710 10th Street in Golden, CO.
