Genghis Khan @ DMNS
Last night we hit up the new special exhibit on Genghis Khan at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The exhibit has an impressive entry, as it’s all temperature controlled to help the artifacts survive overtime. It’s also very informative and I’ve been using my new found knowledge all day - did you know that Khan is very positively viewed in some other cultures as a just ruler? Check out the passports when you’re there and the musical entertainment.
Check it out: Online here where you can also take a quiz, watch the ad from DMNS about it (which I love) or enter a coloring contest with your kids. The museum is open to visit from 9 am to 5 pm and you can purchase tickets ahead of time online.
If you go, be sure to check out the other DMNS exhibits - my favorite so far is the Expedition Health.

An organization that I’m a member of, AEJMC (Assoc. for Education in Journalism & Mass Comm), will be having its annual convention in Denver next August. I need to come up with an idea or two for an off-site event for the Mass Comm. & Society Division. If it could tie in to media or journalism that would be great - but we would also like something either interesting or fun or both! If you have any ideas, please let me know! I’ve only been to Denver once and haven’t had time to do much research yet.
Any panel ideas that are timely and Denver/media related would also be great.
Thanks so much!
