I went biking this past Wednesday afternoon, and passed by the site where Meow Wolf, an interactive art museum based in Santa Fe, New Mexico is constructing an additional location. It is being built in a very strange location, a triangular piece of ground surrounded by Colfax Avenue, Interstate 25, and Auraria Parkway. It is also situated along the Platte River, just a stones throw away from Denver's Mile High Stadium, as seen in the photograph on the left. The exhibits for the museum are being installed in the building as construction proceeds, and the architect for the project, Kristen Fox, is quoted as saying "You are entering into the Quantum Department of Transportation. They have figured out a way to connect universes and allow travel between them." Good to know craziness still reigns supreme, at least in this universe.
As I mentioned above, the Meow Wolf site is right across from Denver's Empower Field at Mile High (the company just bought the naming rights), and it's site borders the pedestrian and bicycle bridge that funnels Denver Broncos fans from the light rail train to the stadium, as seen in the photograph on the right. Does Meow Wolf intend to siphon off Broncos fans on Sunday afternoons as they are on their way to the game, tempted to travel to a different universe where the Broncos actually win football games? Considering how the team did last year and how this season is starting, I would say that is a solid business plan. Unfortunately, Meow Wolf won't open here in Denver until 2021, and so Broncos fans will have to suffer another year and a half of misery before their quantum journey.
