10 Best Museums in Denver | Condé Nast Traveler
"The city’s largest art museum is easily its most popular, with themed exhibits across multiple buildings. (Architecture aficionados can geek out about said buildings, which include the jagged, crystal-inspired annex by Daniel Libeskind and the fortress-like 1971 Gio Ponti building, which recently celebrated its 50th birthday with a four-year, $175 million refresh completed this October). The DAM scores with both acclaimed temporary exhibitions—100 works by French artist Edgar Degas, 70 original costumes from the Star Wars film franchise—and well-rounded programming that will appeal to art experts and kids alike. There’s a little bit of everything, including an extensive collection of Native arts, large format paintings, and intriguing sculptures. How to tackle in a day? See which themes appeal (maybe you prefer textile art and fashion over African art, for example) and take in a few rooms at a time. You can always come back." - Megan Barber
