The Orphanage in Yuma, Colorado

Tag : Atlas Obscura

The work of local quilter Brian Clements

Tucked away in rural northeast Colorado, the Orphanage is a quirky gallery in a renovated mid-century building with a permanent collection of odd orphan cars and automobilia (with a couple of motorcycles thrown in).

Local and regional artists are displayed in, on, and around the cars, and every June a local quilt artist is featured. Special, longer-running, shows have included a pedal car exhibit, an American art pottery show, a hood ornament exhibit, and more. Just to keep things interesting, there is always a guest vehicle featured on the turntable in the front window.
