Very small quirky museum that features tiny sculptures by Michael Garman. Very cleverly done with scenes depicting American small city life. Scenes include pool hall, bar room, theater.alleyways...

So loved this place. We did a fun scavenger hunt with the kids. A tiny town of great art. It is a must see. We loved it. It really is a Magic town.

I have a Michael Garman western sculpture, Taking the Rough Off. It somehow got a small chip which exposed material under the bronzetone color. They were able to repair it and I am very happy with the result.

We stumbled upon this place while walking around Old Colorado City and we’re pleasantly surprised and fascinated by the display. The shop in front is impressive but it is so worth it to pay the $7 to see the full display!! Highly recommend for locals and out of towners alike. I’d rank it top 5 places to see when visiting Colorado Springs!

Really beautiful place, a perfect touristy kind of museum that has a lot of miniatures and an extremely through Scavenger Hunt that was so much fun. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do in a short afternoon.
