The 9 Best Museums in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (CO)

February 11, 2022 Etsuko Causey

A ski town that is also an authentic ranching center, Steamboat Springs is more down home than glitzy. Cowboy hats and ski boots are equally welcome on the city's friendly streets. The place where downhill skiing first flourished in the United States, Steamboat Springs remains a premiere slopes destination. But the town also offers outdoor recreation of every stripe and season. And after a long day hiking, schussing or shopping, you can relax in one of the natural hot springs for which the town was named.

Steamboat Art Company

The Steamboat Art Company has been a fixture in downtown Steamboat Springs since 1975 when The Art Department opened at 810 Lincoln Avenue. In 1979 the name changed to The Steamboat Art Company, and in 1988 the store moved to its current location at 903 Lincoln Avenue. For over four decades the Steamboat Art Company has been catering to locals and visitors with quality handcrafts, art, jewelry and decorative accessories. Embellishments opened in 1998 on a side street in downtown Steamboat Springs offering gifts and accessories with a foreign flare. Over 12 years it became a community staple for unique, hand-made, fair-trade gifts and home furnishings at affordable prices. In 2010 the owners of Embellishments acquired the Steamboat Art Company and have been putting their own flare on the products and customer service. The rear gallery has been converted into Embellishments and now offers casual, comfortable women's clothing. Pay us a visit...you won't be disappointed!

There is a lot of creative talent in this mountain town and perhaps the best artists are represented at Pine Moon. Staffed by friendly locals--and I think most of them are artists whose work in on display. Highly recommend.

Steamboat Art Museum

SAM is the only fine art museum in Northwest Colorado. Housed in the iconic First National Bank / Rehder Building (1905/1920) on the National Registry of Historic Places, the museum is located in the heart of Steamboat’s Creative District and the Historic Downtown District. Established in 2006, the museum has developed a strong national reputation presenting original artwork by living masters whose work is relevant to the culture and heritage of the West. The recent 5,000-square-foot rehabilitation pays tribute to the building’s rich history with exposed beams, stained glass and refurbished locally quarried stone walls. This provides an exquisite setting for its rotating exhibitions, including retrospective exhibitions and group shows. Three exhibitions are presented yearly, December - April, May - September, with the annual Steamboat Art Museum Plein Air Event and Exhibit from late September through October each year. Admission is free, donations are welcome.
