CELL - the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab Language School ·$

CELL (Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab) is a unique museum located in the heart of Denver's Lodo Culture District. Within short walking distance of the Denver Art Museum, Capitol, DCPA, and several other cultural landmarks, CELL focuses exclusively on understanding the history of terrorism, at least as it relates to the United States and its international relations. The exhibits rotate regularly and focus on topics like understanding the threat of terrorism and terror and its relation to the media. CELL doesn't sugar-coat the less pleasant parts of its exhibits and it may be a bit much for kids, but if you're tired of art and Colorado history, it's a nice diversion.

I'd passed this many times when going to the Denver Art Museum and finally looked it up and got a ticket. I appreciated this unique exhibit. It includes both interactive and posted information about terrorist acts. Including personal stories and ideas of what we can do if we see or hear something suspicious.I initially worried that it might be scary and would possibly support increased surveillance of the public or laws that limit privacy. The exhibit did NOT do this. The two tour guides/docents Lily and James were wonderful - very attentive and knowledgeable. I was lucky to be one a very few visitors which allowed me to go at my own pace and get good attention from them. While I would not take younger family members to this (they suggest 14 years or older) and don't anticipate seeing it again; I do appreciate the work they're doing in schools.

Excellent Museum with incredible knowledgeable and passionate staff. A sobering and necessary reminder that all citizens must stay vigilant!

Its quite obvious when you look at the special speakers, who are warhawks, and the funding behind the museum, that this is a strange way to instill pro war sentiment and spread fear among the American citizenry. I'm not even sure what their proposed aim is, if you play devil's advocate. It's almost comical.

On first attempt they were closed and later found the info was hidden on a non obvious calendar online. Open on our second attempt. We were the only ones there. Shallow and needlessly graphic at the same time. An important and interesting topic, with any amount of thought and/or effort this could have been so much better. Read the professor’s earlier review below which I completely agree with. Don’t waste your time or money.

The CELL is a one of a kind educational experience providing both historical and citizen preparedness information to the public. They are fabulous partners with our preparedness programs here at the State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. I highly recommend The CELL!
