Mizel Museum, a Jewish history museum located in Denver, Colorado, is an entity with The Mizel Institute and is a part of Lion Global Foundation.[1] It was founded by Larry Mizel and his wife Carol in 1982. According to Larry, "The museum is really designed to be an outreach to the broader community, and our focal point has been bridges of understanding, which is bringing people together of different races and different religions, to show mostly younger people in school what they have similar with each other."[2][3]

The Mizel Museum is a Jewish history museum with cultural and artistic content, including digital presentations. Its main exhibits are "4,000 Year Road Trip: Gathering Sparks" and, beginning in 2014, "The Power of Place".[4] It also has exhibits about The Holocaust (1941–1945).[5]

Its subsidiary, Center for Empowered Learning and Living (CELL), is a non-profit organization that promotes anti-terrorism efforts[2] and educates the public about the risk of terrorism around the world.[3]
