Unfortunately the city of Denver has become news these days for the slaughter of an armed madman shooting in a cinema where was premiered the new Batman movie. However, Denver is a city, in Colorado, USA, to be remembered for other things, these days it is celebrating the exhibition "Now Boarding. Fentress Airports + The Architecture of Flight" at the Denver Art Museum. Here we bring the interesting content on exhibition, now that many airports are gates to start or return from vacation.
