Under the Lens: Innovation

The Brown’s arrival in Denver in 1894 converges with local and worldwide events that changed the way people interacted with the world. Margaret “Molly” Brown's travels to events like the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago helped to usher this global curiosity into Denver. The Under the Lens Series, in conjunction with The World is Changing Exhibit at the Molly Brown House Museum, playfully explores these world-changing topics across four evenings. 

On July 25, the Under the Lens Series will focus on innovations presented at the World’s Fair. At the 1893 World’s Fair electricity lit up the fairgrounds. Prior to fair opening, innovators like Edison and Tesla competed in a bidding war to light the fair with their patents on electricity. Join us hosted at the historic home of Margaret "Molly" Brown and author, Kristen Iverson, as we explore the electric details and innovations of the fair!

Each Under the Lens event invites guests to experience this detailed look into aspects of the World’s Fair with snacks provided and a beverage with your ticket; adult beverages are available to those 21+.

This event is hosted at the Molly Brown House Museum at 1340 Pennsylvania Street.
