Denver Art Museum: Culture in the Wild, Wild West
Denver Art Museum: Culture in the Wild, Wild West
Some may believe that between New York City and Los Angeles, there is no art. And certainly no world-class museums. Put that notion aside for good, because as sure as snow sprinkles the Rockies, there is an A+ art museum and gallery in (of all places!) - Denver, Colorado.
Hosting one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Western art, the museum is open nearly every day of the year. Currently there is an exhibition guest curated by a Chief of the Cheyenne tribe, Mr Gordon Yellowman. The collection of Cheyenne art, crafts and recordings in the oral tradition make this exhibit both moving and profound.
The Denver Art Museum is home to more than just Western Art, however. There is always a world-class traveling exhibit making its home-on-the-front-range. In recent seasons, Denver art lovers have been able to view Picassos, Rembrandts and Warhols, right here in Colorado. Not a bad deal for a wild west cowtown in the middle of nowhere..
The Denver Art Museum has brought fine art to Denver and the city has taken to it with vigor and delight. Art is a personal taste, of course, and this art museum-cum-gallery has something for every taste. The museum offers classes of kids and adults throughout the year and tours every day. Personalized group tours can be arranged by calling 720-913-0049 call the same number to be added to the DAM mailing list and be pre-advised of coming events and exhibitions.
Recent exhibits at the Denver Art Museum have included a fiber-arts show and a collected display of Native American blankets, some of which were hundreds of years old. The museum consistently chooses the most excellent collections to share with the public. Their full-time collection of Asian art is the largest of its kind in the region. Art in Denver comes in various flavors, all of which can be tasted at the Denver Art Museum and Gallery.
