The Secret Room


I took the above photograph  on the 7th floor of the Denver Art Museum's Ponti building this past Friday. The building resembles the French castle featured in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and I have always been fascinated by the stairway that can be seen through the curtained window in the photo.  It seems to be guarded by a lone Indian and goes who knows where?  How do you get to it? The window itself seems to be sealed.  Perhaps it leads to the boardroom where the trustees meet, and can only be accessed via a secret door.  Is that where they approve purchases of some of the contemporary art pieces that you look at and scratch your head over?  No wonder they meet in a secret room.
