Molly Brown House Museum

1340 Pennsylvania St · Denver, CO

Why you should go…

This restored Victorian mansion was home to Margaret Brown, who survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and later became known as 'the Unsinkable Molly Brown.' Guided tours cover her life as a philanthropist and suffragist as well as the house's period furnishings. It's a compact, well-told stop in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Good to know

General museums guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Check the special exhibition separately

    Touring shows usually carry their own ticket and their own opening hours, listed apart from general admission.

  • Look for the free window

    Many museums run community days, member evenings, or discounted late openings. It is worth a look before you pay full price.

  • Travel light through the door

    Large bags and backpacks often have to go to a coat check, and lines for it move slowly at opening.

  • Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons

    School groups clear out by early afternoon midweek, while weekends stay busy from late morning on.
