One of Boulder’s most iconic architectural landmarks – the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse – celebrates its 25th anniversary this month. The Museum of Boulder has an exhibit up to mark the occasion and the teahouse itself will be organizing some special events.

Operator Sara Martinelli gave a detailed guided tour and shared her memories from the start of the teahouse. Elizabeth Nosek of the Museum of Boulder walked us through the exhibit.
