A trip to Denver would not be complete without a visit to the new Denver Art Museum Hamilton Wing Addition, by famous architect Danial Liebiskind. The building is an attraction unto itself. It is an amazing architectural and engineering feat, placed in the center of the rich Denver Civic Center, next the to the Michael Graves Central Library, the Classic... more

The Denver Art Museum is an eclectic collection of both modern and classic art. We spent over four hours there and enjoyed a wide range of exhibits, from Federalist furniture to the special exhibit of Rock Concert Posters from the '60s and '70s. The two buildings are designed to funnel traffic patterns in the most expedient manner possible, and we... more

You could spend an hour or 2 days here because there is just so much to see. The exhibits literally span from across the globe so you have your choice of what to focus on or what to breeze by. The price is decent and if you can come up with a Denver zip code you can get a discount.... more

With a new addition to the old building, the DAM is a great place to spend looking at contemporary art from all over the world in a very nice atmosphere. In addition to all the beautiful paintings and sculptures to look at, the DAM is made to be very interactive for grown ups as well as children. There are a... more

This is an incredible museum that was a wonderful experience. We visited our son in hot July 08 and decided to spend a couple of hours here. We had heard that its Native American Indian art collection was one of the largest and we were not disappointed. We ended up spending over 4 hours and still didn't finish seeing everything.... more

The new Hamilton Wing was Denver's provincial attempt at doing what Frank Gehry did for Bilbao in Spain. Unfortunately Denver's efforts went badly astray and the city has its newest white elephant. Crude in conception and even poorer in execution, the new Hamilton Wing is a train wreck of an interior trying very hard to be a sophisticated container for... more

I very much enjoyed my visit to the Denver Art Museum. I especially enjoyed the large galleries displaying modern art collections. It was fascinating. I wasn't as much interested in the western art, but considering I was in Denver, it seemed normal for a large collection to be present. I recommend the Denver Art Museum especially for those who enjoy... more

I was slightly disappointed on both times I've been to the Denver Art Museum. The building (from the outside) looks fairly impressive, but the inside has a strange feel to it. The sloping walls give off a bit of an uneasy feeling. The art is just so-so. While this is probably the best art museum in this section of the... more

The museum is split between several buildings of varying interest. One of the older buildings houses an American Indian Collection which is Ok, but the popresentation is drab and tired. Some of the American paintings are worth seeing, but again, the galleries are stodgy and heavy. We went to see the new extension, the Hamilton wing. It is an awful... more
