I should not have been surprised at the quality of this museum. I had been told it was primarily contemporary but what I found was more. Just the floor with western art was a home run. Truly… world class paintings and of course sculptures. The American Indian floor was also amazing. Did not find much European art though.

We were intrigued by the Red Fox exhibit and the light/sound exhibit. We also visited during the Georgia O'Keefe special exhibit which was educational. The museum had slightly fewer traditional paintings than I like to see in the big city museums; it appeared to have a larger variety of modern exhibits and a very limited photography section.

We are members of the Art Museum. We enjoy that the exhibits change regularly so that each time we go there is something different to see.

There is six floors and a bridge. To get to the sixth floor you have to cross the bridge and find the elevator. I like the european dislay on the sixth floor, Renoir. Nice art displays.

I was fortunate enough to score tickets to the recent "Becoming van Gogh" art exhibit and I was ecstatic before, during and after my tour. The exhibit layout, sketches and paintings from artists from similar times as well as from van Gogh and the explanations about what was behind each painting was intriguing. The Denver Art Museum (DAM) should be... More

Hands down, the best museum I have ever visited! The geometric building itself is a masterpiece with photo ops galore. Inside is troves of ancient art, ethnic art, interactive and modern art, photography and textiles - something for everyone. My family was delighted and amazed at every turn. This is a must see!

Love the museum. I've been to museums in NYC, Chicago, etc. and this one ranks high on my list! A must-go in Denver. If you go on free-day get there when it opens because it gets really busy.

What a surprise to see so many people of all ages, ethnic groups in the area around the museum and in the museum. Huge! I was so surprised at the size and depth of the collection. The museum store was delightful. Many fine gifts not only for adults but a wonderful selection for children of all ages.

We visited the Denver Art Museum whilst visiting Denver for a conference in April. It is superb!! There is art of just about every nation. So much so that I was punch-drunk with culture. We had to return to see all of the exhibits and even then I would certainly go back.
