Art across Denver’s museum district

Why go

This museum walk suits visitors who want a substantial art day with little travel between the main galleries. Museo de las Americas brings a Latino and Latin American perspective before the route reaches the museum district. Give the Denver Art Museum the longest visit, then move into the focused galleries of the Clyfford Still Museum and the decorative arts and Colorado work at The Kirkland. The last three stops sit close together, so the day is spent looking rather than crossing town. Four museum visits can be tiring; take a proper break and choose highlights at the Denver Art Museum instead of trying to cover every gallery.
