Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum has gone titanium, literally. Completed in 2006, the newest addition to this world-famous museum is the Daniel Libeskind-designed Frederic C. Hamilton Building. The cubist-like building's exterior is composed of highly reflective titanium, while the angular interior houses art from a variety of genres. Rediscover the 7th floor of the Denver Art Museum! After closing the 7th floor in 2004 for renovations, the museum has opened nine refurbished galleries featuring historic Western American art. Around 155 paintings and sculptures created before 1950 will be on display in the exhibit, Creating the West in Art. Stroll through scenes of stampeding horses, victorious battles and feel the energy of a bucking bronco while you gaze upon unspoiled Western territory. It's not every day you get to admire the works of Charles Marion Russell and Frederic Remington. In addition, the Berger Western Discovery Library will reopen so visitors of all ages can learn, play and remember the West. Hang out on the leather sofas and surround yourself with pillows while you skim through an extensive collections of books, listen to western music at iPod listening stations, play with vintage cameras and share a laugh while dressing up in costumes. Free First Saturdays: The first Saturday of every month is free for Colorado residents.
