Denver Art Museum
A museum made up of two sharply contrasting buildings: the Hamilton Building, designed by Daniel Libeskind with angular titanium panels, and the Ponti Building. It has one of the leading collections of Native American art in the United States.
The museum consists of two buildings in very different styles. The North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti, looks like a castle and is clad in about one million glass tiles. The Hamilton Building, designed by Daniel Libeskind, has titanium panels with folded angles that resemble mountain peaks or crystals. Its collection of about 70,000 works is especially strong in Native American art, Western art, and colonial Latin American art. Adult admission is over $20, and admission is free for those under 18. There are free days each month. The museum is located in the Golden Triangle Museum District in downtown Denver, within walking distance of the State Capitol and the Clyfford Still Museum.
