Designed by OZ Architecture of Denver and completed in 2002, the 24,000 sq. ft. Longmont Museum & Cultural Center offers three large exhibition galleries, a gift shop, classrooms, an outdoor pavilion and courtyard, a reading room for researchers, and an exquisite observation room – the “Longs Peak Family Interactive Gallery” – with views from the snowy peaks to the Plains. Behind the scenes, state-of-the-art climate-controlled storage rooms house the Longmont Archives and an extensive collection of artifacts.

With a contemporary design and elegant detailing, the Museum sports a red brick and sandstone exterior, a slate and stone lobby floor, cedar hallway ceilings, and maple trim. Large windows look out to the courtyard, making for a spacious and airy feeling, and the building is filled with light. Moveable partitions and a sophisticated lighting system provide the flexibility to offer a range of exciting exhibit experiences. The brightly colored Discovery Days Room welcomes children, while the courtyard provides space for concerts, outdoor receptions, and picnic lunches on balmy days.

It’s a truly lovely space for the entire community to enjoy.
