The Denver Museum of Nature & Science's hidden gnomes are really tiny creatures, only a couple inches tall, and virtually impossible to pick out without assistance.
[Robert MacLeay, 07/31/2010]Hidden in the Denver Museum of Nature & Science's dioramas are eight tiny gnomes that are painted into the dioramas (originally created sometime in the '70s). The artist used the gnomes as his signature - for something fun and different.
