Denver Art Museum

Known for its wide range of Native American art, this museum also contains the only major Asian art collection in the Rocky Mountains.

Reviewed By ShesCookin - Huntington Beach, United States

The current special exhibit:The Western: An Epic in Art and Film is, yes, epic - for its insight, scope and film references. On view through September 10, 2017, it is well worth the $18 adult admission to see and understand how the mythology of the West was born, changed with the times, and endures today. DAM's permanent collection of American Indian and Western American art are highlights, along with the stunning Daniel Libeskind and Geo Ponti architecture.

Clyfford Still Museum

Home to the world’s most intact public collection of any major artist, the Clyfford Still Museum offers nine beautiful galleries of Still’s art, historic photos, objects and letters from the Clyfford Still Archives, interactive features, a pair of tranquil outdoor terraces, views into storage and conservation areas, a hands-on art creation studio, shopping, exciting programs and events, and more. The Museum allows visitors the unique experience to understand the legacy of Clyfford Still, an artist whose life has been shrouded in mystery and the bulk of whose work has been hidden from public view for decades. He had a unique artistic vision and was unwilling to compromise it for money or recognition. As he evolved as an artist, Still’s works transitioned from outdoor scenes, people, and machinery to more abstract shapes, colors, and lines to express an idea or feeling. The collection represents 95% of the artist’s lifetime output, includes approximately 3,125 works.

located just behind the DAM is the Clyfford Still Museum. His art is Abstract Expressionism and fits in well with Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell. His work was unknown to me until this visit.

This contemporary art museum is well laid out. It is not too large, so it is not overwhelming to the viewer. The exhibits are well placed and I left feeling inspired and refreshed.
