This five-floor museum is wonderfully diverse and is at the forefront of offering new exhibits. In the past, it has featured impressionist artists as well as the work of Winslow Homer. This museum brags— and rightfully so— about housing one of the largest art collections between Kansas City and the West Coast. It's Native American art collection, which encompasses an entire floor, is not to be missed. In addition, 2006 heralded the dedication of a new wing of the museum. Designed by Daniel Libeskind, the Frederic C. Hamilton building adds to the already stunning architecture of the cityscape and has become a popular attraction for museum visitors.

Definitely go to the Denver Art Museum if you have the time while visiting the city. Our preference was the Martin building which includes Asian, Latin American, Indigenous and Alaska Native artworks as well as European art prior to 1800. All were very well displayed and each exhibit flowed smoothly from one room to the other. The other building houses more contemporary art as well as the gift shop.
MoreThese are beautiful buildings that were easy to navigate with a little guidance from docents available in all areas. I admired several sculptures around the exteriors. Great diversity of exhibits; if I had to choose a favorite it would be the Oceana tiki poles (not correct names I'm sure); so big I felt transported to where they come from. There is also a work from El Anatsui who is IMPRESSIVE as well as Van Gogh who I love, love, love. There are several rooms for creative play, but I did not have the time ....... this time. I will be back.
MoreOutstanding! Great museum and generous of exhibits and friendliness.
MoreQuite a start to our Denver trip exploring the three buildings of the Denver Art Museum. We loved the Asian collection in the Martin building, loved to see pieces from our heritage. The Kirkland building with its interior design pieces was good as well. There is lots to walk, 7 floors in the Martin building; 4 floors in the Martin building, And don’t forget to walk over to the Kirkland building. Overall a good collection of items here and definitely worth a one time trip. There are also dedicated spaces in the buildings for creativity and activities for kids. Highly recommend if coming with kids to Denver.
MoreI love art museums and am also never disappointed in a visit. That said, I had pretty low expectations going in to the Denver Art Museum due to experiences with other city art museums.That said, it was fantastic. The layout is really great. There is such diversity in exhibits. The lighting was so good. And there are plenty of benches and chairs if you need a break. The gift shop is also huge and had some neat things. Parking in the city garage across the street was easy and there are several restaurants nearby.
