leslie hornaJanuary 8, 2012Mixed Taste lecture series is brainy, zany and fun. You will learn things you never knew existed. Penny Fridays are so cheap it's worth splurging to have cocktails in the rooftop cafe. Stellar view.
Francis KinderJanuary 12, 2019The space is glamorous and beautiful, but as the museum is completely dependant on it's temporary exhibitions, make sure one you like is on display!
ColoradoJanuary 23, 2012This David Adjaye-designed structure’s sleekness contrasts with the red brick typical of LoDo. Inside, five galleries showcase a series of exhibits devoted to innovation and creativity.
Nick BergusAugust 9, 2014Rotating art exhibits (they have no permanent collection). Rooftop offers nice view of LoDo and other parts of Denver.
Stephanie AllenMarch 16, 2012If you haven't had an opportunity to check this place out, you need to. It's not too far from campus and is a great place to go to kill some time if you have it to spare.
John HaberlandJanuary 25, 2014If you're expecting the Museum of Modern Art (NYC), this is about 1/20 the size of that. But nice staff and some interesting works. Also much cheaper than MoMA.
Daniele FedericoMay 4, 2014This is not the place for Art. At least I haven't seen any. Just non sense installation. The position is great and the roof-top bar very nice.
Ryan JorgensonJanuary 10, 2015Gorgeous building, and the Mark Mothersbaugh "Myopia" exhibit is incredible.
Jennifer H. F.July 29, 2015Take the time to read the artist info and watch the videos. Espresso upstairs was delicious.
Jose MesaDecember 30, 2012Great place to bring kids (especially the top floor). Fun, interesting exhibits and usually not too crowded.
Troy NachtigallSeptember 13, 2014This museum is one giant trip toy. Get to the cafe at the top if the walks are melting.
GreenSpot Real EstateNovember 3, 2011The museum isn't a screamer. Architect David Adjaye lets the art do that. The "double-skin" facade with tinted glass re-circulates building air and looks like black milk at night, LEED (NC, gold).
Angelina ZeppieriJanuary 22, 2017Small museum with 3-4 exhibits, but very cool stuff. Nice rooftop with bar.
- Mel AyerAugust 22, 2014Head up to the roof for coffee and a view. Don't need a ton of time to see the whole museum.
Patrick MooneyOctober 4, 2019Half the museum is closed today because their arts-outreach-for-students horseshit requires that half the museum be made student-only.
- Brett ValensteinApril 7, 2010The views from the café are amazing and the space has a cool vibe. Great coffee & pastries -- i had a macaron and it was DIVINE!
HISTORYApril 5, 2010An innovative forum for contemporary art that inspires and challenges all audiences, creating understanding and dialog about art of our time.- leslie hornaJanuary 5, 2012everyone always tries to pull open or push down the bathroom door knobs. Push. I've seen so many people stand outside waiting because they think it's locked
Ryan HartJune 12, 2022Terribly disappointing. Exhibit was small and unremarkable. Largely student work. Café was trying to close early and we felt were pushing us out. Staff was unfriendly didn’t want to be working.
Dawn CrawfordJanuary 19, 2010One of Denver's best art offerings. This is a non-collecting museum so there is always all new stuff!
Jack PhamOctober 1, 2011Come to black sheep fridays for their quirky events. I think they're only in the fall though
D RJuly 15, 2016No idea why ppl like this place. No interesting exhibits at all. Terrible curation. Maybe worst museum I've ever been to. Definitely worst contemporary art museum I've been to.
