Lounging in the 60s

Wall Covering

Object Name

Wall Covering

Label

Originally placed in the Enos Mills Auditorium at the visitor center, the wall covering added to the overall atmosphere of the theater. Presenting a film to introduce visitors to the scenery and history of Rocky Mountain National Park, the theater played a crucial role in connecting guests’ brief experiences inside the visitor center with the park’s scenic landscape.
 
With a strong emphasis on park visitors' movement, Mission 66-era buildings and their furniture walked a tightrope between highlighting the park’s natural beauty and displaying architectural prowess through the visitor center’s modernist design. As they appreciated Olgivanna Lloyd Wright’s bold rust-orange color scheme, guests might take note of how the wall covering created a seamless transition between the theater and other parts of the visitor center.
