Housed in a beautifully remodeled late-19th-century building in Salida’s Historic District, the Museum of Authenticity is an intimate museum of art & culture. Set against a backdrop of art created for art’s sake and handmade utilitarian objects that are—indisputably—works of art, MoA seeks to inspire the visitor’s own bold adventures in art and life. Founding director and curator, Thordis Niela Simonsen, taught biology and cultural anthropology before immersing in the visual and literary arts, restoring a roofless Greek village house stone by stone by hand, and creating the Museum, which opened in 2020.

The Museum of Authenticity’s changing exhibits juxtapose works from two collections: Thordis’ works on paper, including monotype prints, paintings, graphics, and photographs; and early- to mid-20th-century works on paper, primarily by Colorado and New Mexico artists and including youth, women, and unknown artists.
