‘Ink & Thread: Codices and the Art of Storytelling’ closes at the Denver Art Museum on Oct. 4. In the museum’s words, ancient painter-scribes in Mesoamerica recorded histories, genealogies and prophecies in the pages of painted manuscripts known as codices; the exhibition is built around that tradition and it is included in general admission rather than ticketed separately. For homeschool families it is a natural pairing with a study of the Maya and Aztec worlds, and children get into DAM free.
