Lounging in the 60s

Wall Covering

Object Name

Wall Covering

Label

Originally placed in the Enos Mills Auditorium of the visitor center, the wall covering added to the overall atmosphere of the theater. Equipped with a film introducing visitors to the scenery and history that 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 strong emphasis on park visitor’s 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. Boasting Olgivanna Lloyd Wright’s bold rust-orange color scheme, guests might take note of the wall covering’s aid in creating a seamless transition between the theater and other parts of the visitor center.
