Museum officials say the building is a one-of-a-kind.

"Not only is Kirkland Museum one of Colorado's great museums, Kirkland provides one of the most unique and memorable visitor experiences," said Gerald Horner, the deputy director at the museum.

The museum has three collections that are displayed chronologically in salon style which allows visitors to travel through time as they walk through.
