Clyfford Still Museum

Home to the art and legacy of the American painter Clyfford Still, we invite all to explore the potential of individual creative endeavor. Designed specifically to display Still’s art, the award-winning Clyfford Still Museum is home to nearly everything he created, approximately 3,125 pieces representing 93 percent of his lifetime of work. The Museum supports new artistic endeavors, inviting visitors to draw strength from Still’s art and life. At the Still, visitors will find a world-class collection gifted to the City and County of Denver, award-winning architecture, cross-disciplinary programs for all ages, and opportunities to explore their own creativity. Exhibitions stimulate curiosity, arouse emotions, and explore multiple perspectives. The Still invites visitors to refresh, recharge, and reconnect with joy.

Clyfford Still (1904–1980) was among the first generation of Abstract Expressionist artists, and he redefined American painting. Located in the heart of Denver’s vibrant Golden Triangle Creative District, the two-story, 28,500-square-foot building and outdoor forecourt are gathering places for our community. The Still offers nine beautiful galleries of Still’s art, historic photos, objects and letters from the Clyfford Still Museum Archives, interactive features, tranquil outdoor terraces, views into storage and conservation areas, a hands-on art creation studio, shopping, exciting programs and events, and more.

At the Still, we benefit from the varied perspectives everyone brings. Each program, partnership, and decision reflects a commitment to openness and access. We inherit and manifest Clyfford Still’s fiercely independent spirit by pursuing bold and transformative practices in the museum field and in our community. We work together—as a team and with our audiences, neighbors, and partners—to achieve more than we could alone.
