The Denver Museum Of Nature an Science (DMNS) is the main natural history museum in Denver, Colorado. Home to a number of exhibits, the museum focuses on research and education of the Denver Metro Area. DMNS maintains a number of diorama halls, and is home to the Phipps IMAX Theater and the Gates Planetarium. It is located in City Park, about two miles east of downtown Denver. The view from western side of the museum is one of the most famous vantages of the Denver skyline and the mountains behind them due to the museum's elevation above the rest of the park.
