Denver International Airport

[drummer]

"Travelers are in for a uniquely Colorado experience when they pass through Denver International Airport. The works of art that grace the airport create a journey through our state’s history and diversity. Like all successful public art, the program at DIA exemplifies an expression of ourselves and provides an opportunity to educate others"- Mayor Wellington B. Webb





"What in God’s name is that all about? Man, that’s sick!- Doug McGivens of Glen Burnie, MD. while looking at the mural

"Ah, terrific... I don’t need this right now. What a horrible thing to have up for people to have to look at!"- Karen D. from Broomfield, CO after her 8-year old daughter got upset at seeing the mural

"The damn sneaks"- Me, when I saw they painted over and changed some of the murals

An African woman in colorful native garb; a Native American woman who’s heritage the airport’s art supposedly celebrates; a blonde girl with cupid bow lips, a Star of David on her chest and a bible in her hands. Each lay dead in open coffins for your viewing pleasure. A burning city, children sleeping on piles of bricks, a line of mourning women in rags with dead babies, limp in their arms. A huge, looming military figure in a gas mask brandishes a sword and machine gun. Part of an actual note written by a child interred in a Nazi death camp. Strange words embedded in the floor with no explanation about what they mean. Welcome to Denver International Airport!

I am glad you posted this.

What is SO up with that gargoyle there! And haven't there been different associations given for the writing on the floor?

Yikes....who owns Colorado anyway?
