Estes Park’s professional photographer Charles Mace spent a lifetime capturing images as a photojournalist. He freelanced for the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, contributed to Life Magazine and the New York Times, and served as Signal Corps photographer during World War I. Some of the compelling images he captured cover the walls of the Baldpate Inn, which he helped his brother build in 1917. Join the Estes Park Museum for this unique opportunity to witness never-before-seen and newly-discovered images kept in private collections, including original glass plate slides, large format photograph reproductions, and some of Mace’s personal memorabilia.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2013 - AUGUST 3, 2014

Estes Park celebrated the arrival of Swedish artist Birger Sandzén (1871 – 1954) in 1925, when he helped establish and teach for a branch of Denver’s Chapell School of Art. Sandzén was fascinated by the challenges of depicting the beautiful local landscape, and would continue to summer in Estes Park until his death in 1954. Discover how the renowned artist, often referred to as “America’s Van Gogh,” inspired the community of Estes Park artists with his enthusiasm for art enrichment. The temporary exhibit Sandzén in Estes Park will feature paintings and graphics of the mountainscapes for which Sandzén became so well-known.
