About Denver Art Museum

Founded in 1893, the Denver Art Museum is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast. Its collection of more than 70,000 works spans American art, Native American and Indigenous art, western American art, European art, architecture and design, and Asian art.

The museum is housed in two adjoining landmark buildings — Gio Ponti's castle-like North Building (1971) and Daniel Libeskind's sharply geometric Frederic C. Hamilton Building (2006). The Native Art galleries are among the most important and comprehensive in any art museum in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

A small ask before you go

Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
