Fantastic mural series, a must-see for any visitors to DIA looking for a terrifying art experience that will put them in the mood to curl into a ball just before they hop on a plane .

Emily Titon

Awww, someone changed the name from "Creepy Apocalyptic Mural ." This is a happier name, I suppose... and the mural still has the same great messages: peace and conservation or we'll destroy ourselves!

If you stare at it too long a TSA rep wisks you away and they show you this flashy pen thingy and you forget everything.

If you become the mayor, your soul gets trapped in the coffin and you are damned to walk the underground baggage tunnels until the apocalypse or until the scary blue demon Bronco is taken down.

Protip: flag down a TSA rep and ask them about the "secret portal". Most fun I've had dimension-crossing into a rainbow-fueled Nazi-apocalypse since last year's fight with a robotic Miles Davis.

Little known fact: Colorado was once filled with jaguars , penguins, and sea turtles until they were wiped out by the little Danish girl portrayed jn the coffin .

Make sure to notice these on the way to baggage claim - they're one of the many strange things going on at DIA
