Jonny Barber, Curator of the Colfax Avenue Museum

By Patricia Calhoun, Westword | Jonny Barber, the founder of the Colfax Museum who’s also known as the “Velvet Elvis,” has reached the end of the line.

It turned out that the final straw was not one, but two floods that hit the museum’s most recent location at Pasternack’s Art Hub this summer, but Barber didn’t recognize it at the time. He was too busy drying off collectibles from the country’s longest main street and looking for a new spot for the museum, which had moved to the Art Hub from East Colfax Avenue a year before.

“Things didn’t work out for the Colfax Museum in Lakewood, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying! A lot of work went into getting it off the ground, and we want to thank Scott Pasternack and his family for all of their help and contribution to our museum,” Barber wrote on Facebook last month. “Scott is still dedicated to seeing the museum find the home it really deserves and has pledged his support.”
