It takes about 8-10 hours to see everything they have to offer. I spent 5 hours there and only saw 60% of it! Their Native American & Asian art exhibits were incredible...best I've seen yet!

One of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast! Don't let the 70,000 works of art overwhelm you and pick a few exhibitions/floors to check out. Lockers available behind the stairs.

Charles

The Denver Art Museum is practically overflowing with great exhibits . Asian, Western American, Modern, and the excellent American Indian gallery . Don't forget "Fox Games". It's a fantastic must see.

Jake Smith

While the rotating exhibits are definitely the draw here, there are also fantastic displays of Native American/Western art . Be sure to cross the bridge into the adjacent building to see it all.

Shawn Calhoun

Great museum and an easy walk from downtown. The Degas exhibition was just starting and its spectacular!!

Hannah Alkadi

One of the best art museums I've been to. The Asian Art Floor alone is worth the trip — but take your time and definitely take pictures. So beautiful.

Steven Kaye

Either figure out what you want to see in a few hours or plan on spending most of a day here. Lots of opportunities for creativity, from contributing thoughts on Denver to making your own slogan pins.

Andrew C

Coming from DC, free museums are everywhere so having to pay for any museum is disappointing. But, these exhibits sounded really neat and was actually a nice experience + worth the price to visit!!!

Natalie

The architecture is so unique and their rotating exhibits are always a great reason to keep going back over and over again.

Clara ZV

It's definitely an amazing museum , I could have spent a day or maybe more visiting it. Has everything for everyone. Highly recommend!

Francis Kinder

Very well curated in an architectural masterpiece, this museum is the perfect program for a rainy day!

DAM has nine curatorial departments: architecture , design & graphics; Asian art ; modern and contemporary ; native arts ; New World; painting and sculpture ; photography ; Western art ; and textile art .

Anthony Duran

Great exhibits , my favorites are of the American West! Take your time, spend a little extra for featured exhibits and have a great day, especially during a free one ;)

Jacob Ford

Hamilton Building > Level 2, Western American Art > Studio. There is a stamp dispenser that sells USPS Forever stamps for 35¢ each. That’s 14¢ cheaper than what they’re supposed to be.

Nick Bergus

Great activities for kids (a scavenger hunt, hands-on art studio and other fun stuff) throughout the museum . A nice mix of modern, contemporary and historical artworks.

Leanne Goff

Be sure to go while they have the quilting and textile room open. You get to create your own square using materials they provide! Very fun. Read more

Brian Duncan

Many crafts and activities for families. Very friendly staff . Rather eclectic . Plan on spending at least a couple of hours.

Johnnie Huffman

Wonderful, interesting and well laid out exhibition . Thoroughly enjoyed it. The little audio device they give you is informative when it comes to what they deemed 'adult' pieces.

David Schwartz

Nice museum part of the Denver cultural square. On the first Saturday & Sunday of the month entrance is free. Good activities for kids.

Johanna Yoko Nonos

It was a very nice visit..it reminded a bit of Museum of Louvre..surprisingly the kids enjoyed it as well ..and they had the opportunity to develop their talents through few activities

Jose

The museum is very nice. Good levels and art throughout. They even have a penny machine!

Thomas Guignard

If you have luggage, the museum has a handful of pretty big lockers downstairs (modern wing). They can easily fit a full-size suitcase & they're free!

Charlene Naughton

This museum is so gorgeous and has so many thoughtful spaces for kids to keep them engaged. Best art museum .

Claire Luhman

A fantastic museum . The teams behind making the exhibits possible really do give it their all.

Harry Lundy

It will take more than one visit to see and appreciate everything. First Saturday of the month is free admission . :-)

D

Disappointing Degas exhibit , but really neat building. Otherwise a lot of animal art , American, and Asian art during my visit. There's a parking garage right next to the museum . 2$/hour. 

Colorado

The jagged edges of the Daniel Libeskind-designed Hamilton Building house Old West art , contemporary masterworks, massive installations and traveling exhibitions .

HISTORY

The museum enriches the lives of Colorado and Rocky Mountain residents through the acquisition, preservation, and presentation of art works in both the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions .

Irina Pineda

Everything is great! The architecture , the art inside, the people who stands, the gardens , everything ????

Harley Acres

They have Bouguereaus, Oldenbergs, a Monet, the Chapman Brothers, Barbara Kruger and even a sculpture by Yoshitomo Nara! Plus a solid floor dedicated to Asian art .

Brett Kessler DDS

Denver Art Museum 6.4 miles to the west of Denver dentist Town Center Dentistry and Orthodontics

Lesya Klymenko

The best place to world art in Denver. Their blockbusters are of the highest quality. I'd recommend this museum to visitors of Denver and Denverites alike.

Svye Lunite

Fantastic exhibitions , family creativity boosting spaces and a little bit for everyone really

K12 Inc

Did you know? The design of the Hamilton building was inspired by the Rockies & rock crystals from the foothills; the older North building breaks from tradition and "temple-style" museum architecture . Read more

Check out the backpack cart on the second floor of Hamilton - it's free and the people there can help you find cool things to do. They're there on weekends and school holidays

The Ritz-Carlton

From ancient pottery to contemporary photography , Denver Art Museum is the coolest cultural hotspot in town . It’s covered in 9,000 titanium panels and is the spikiest building in the world.

Karen

Final Friday evening Untitled event series with interactive exhibits , artist talks, theater performances , and cash bar

Margare Foss

Went for general admission ticket was $10. The museum had a DIOR exhibit that was sold out. The lockers require a quarter deposit to operate.

Ashley Gammie

Definitely become a member! So many rotating exhibits and the evergreen ones are fantastic.

Jeremy Garber

Wonderful and family-friendly installations! Check out an activity tube for the kids and stop by the first floor activity gallery .

Adam Hendricks

take the elevator to the top and then the stairs on the way down after seeing exhibits . beautiful architecture not to be missed :)

Jacob Ford

If you find the dustpans/brushes too big, head on over to The ART Hotel next door.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Several interesting shows up at the moment. The building is a little tired.

Katy Burley

Whatever you do, do NOT parking in the parking structure !!! Use the 5 hour parking meters or surface lots. You could spend 30-45 minutes trying to get OUT of the structure 's horrendous line !

Nick Sonsteby

Even if you aren't a kid, play the games near the beginning of each exhibit !

The Capital Grille

Go behind the scenes January-October with Final Fridays: an after hours creative experience that includes a cash bar and hor d'oeuvres.

Cristian Löfvall

Beautiful museum . A must see when you visit Denver.

WildHorses

Love the collections, the exhibition schedule, the architecture !

Matthew Brewster

Great art with great prices and some free days! The art is usually changed out.

Lisa Axtman

The South American Religious Collection is great, as is the precolonial art .
