Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Archaeological museum in Manitou Springs, United States
The Manitou Cliff Dwellings feature reconstructed ancient Puebloan structures where visitors can walk through rooms, doorways, and examine traditional architectural elements.
The cliff dwellings opened to the public in 1907, preserving and displaying the architectural techniques and living spaces of Native American communities from the American Southwest.
The museum exhibits contain numerous Native American artifacts, including traditional pottery, tools, weapons, and educational displays about the daily life of Pueblo inhabitants.
Located five miles west of Colorado Springs off US Highway 24, the site includes two museums, a gift shop, and seasonal facilities for visitors.
Unlike conventional museums, these cliff dwellings allow direct physical interaction with the structures, enabling visitors to touch and explore the ancient building designs.
