The museum gives you a chance to experience the home of the Unsinkable Margaret Brown, who survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic and was known as a philanthropist, activist, and woman of extraordinary courage. You can walk through 16 rooms on three floors and explore various objects, which helps you understand Molly's life and historical context.
The museum takes you on a journey to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The house of Molly and mining magnate James Joseph Brown holds massive collections of furniture, dresses, accessories, glassware, and art from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Molly's coats, shoes, and purses help you imagine a woman setting trends in Victorian Denver, while the art collection highlights the leading artistic styles of Molly's time.
