Find the Pomodoro Scavenger Hunt

If you've bee here a while, or if you read my previous post, you'll know that I'm a big fan of scavenger hunts, especially ones that involve public art. So today, I'm sharing a local scavenger hunt that can be found right here in Louisville, Colorado.

In the early days of Louisville, the town was populated by Italian miners and their families, which resulted in a strong Italian community. To celebrate the town's Italian heritage and the tomatoes that grow so well here in Summer (practically the only thing that will grow in my veggie patch!), the City of Louisville launched a scavenger hunt called Find the Pomodoro and an accompanying mural on Main Street over Summer.

Now, I know that it's already Fall, but the scavenger hunt is still in progress, and it's a fun way to explore local landmarks and businesses, so let's take a look... 

Office of Collecting & Design

Are you a collector?

Do you bring home little items that make your heart happy?

Do you have a treasure trove of tiny things that bring you joy?

I'm definitely a collector. I love to add to my collections when we travel and visit new places. Fridge magnets, Christmas ornaments, Starbucks mugs, tea towels, little artworks that speak to me... 

But my collections pale in comparison to the awe inspiring Office of Collecting & Design!

I recently had the chance to visit the Office of Collecting & Design when it made a tour stop in Denver. This mobile museum is housed in an old RV and is full drawers, shelves and containers - each one housing a tiny collection. Anything small you can think of, it's there! And the best part? It's all hands on! You know I love a good interactive exhibition!
