Our Take
The Ouray Alchemist Museum is a cabinet-of-curiosities fever dream packed into a Victorian building, with penthouse views thrown in for good measure. The very small review pool makes it hard to rank confidently, but what's described here suggests a deeply eccentric and personal experience worth seeking out if you love the odd and wonderful.
