I had the pleasure of working on many of the foregrounds in the museum including working on the Olympic Rainforest Exhibit where if you look very carefully you will see a forest leprechaun peeking behind a tree. I worked in the exhibit department from 1974-1981.

Hi, Noel (what a wonderful name!)

Why don't you make a list or write a short article on what you remember. If the Museum can't post it online, I would love to do so. Technically I am a part-timer at the the Museum after all these years, and I maintain the Colorado Skies website in support of programs I do in the planetarium. Of course this is not exactly planetarium related, but certainly of interest.

Many many years ago I worked on the museum dioramas and trained volunteers, and would be happy to share whatever I remember that would be of interest to others.....

P.S. Kent Pendleton painted the leprechauns, and if contacted, would give Larry a list of where they are.

Laura, You can pick up a list of the locations at the Museum's information desk or in the Museum's Library on the 3rd floor, NW corner.

After 26 years of taking fourth graders to the museum, I have retired. My collegues would like to know how to find the leprechauns.

Hi, Kris!

I remember the "leprechauns" from decades ago. We used to have fun showing them to visitors. Unfortunately I have forgotten which dioramas have them. Are they still there, and is there a way to find them?
