Went on a school trip with my abstract painting class. It was awesome! The perfect mix between so much to see i couldn't get bored/run out of things to look at, but not too many things to make me overwhelmed and unable to appreciate each piece. Insanely interesting works from Vance Kirkland and Dave Yust, and the furniture/sculptures/various artistic pieces was a joy to witness and experience.
I have been to this museum multiple times and love the funky decorative art especially chairs and glassware. This week I checked out a temporary exhibit, Vance Kirkland's Cosmos, which is on until May 28, 2023. Loved it! I highly recommend a visit while this exhibit is in town.
So many beautiful objects and happy surprises! Besides Mr. Kirkland’s fantastic paintings, his collection is incredible. There is even a view of his studio showing the slings he would lie on above his paintings so they could stay flat. Loved it!
Had this museum on my list to visit while in Denver and also met several people who highly recommended it. It was a pretty neat museum but a bit overwhelming as it’s quite crowded with things…almost like an antique shop. They had a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit when I visited, and I believe they rotate out exhibits in that space. The other rooms are always there and contain pieces that are grouped by time period. There’s street parking all around which is free on Sundays.
Absolutely loved their collection of art, furniture and ceramics. So eclectic, interesting, creative and inspirational. Will be back!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
I had been to the museum back when it was in the artists house on Pearl in Denver, and loved it then. This is an impressive museum with a very interesting and fun collection of early to mid 20th century paintings, furniture and decorative art. I love the way the artwork is displayed with the many unusual and period piece chairs. Couches, phones, cabinets and other interesting furniture and art objects as well. Don’t miss the Warhol Campbells Soup dress! Just a fun museum that is worth a visit. I love Kirkland’s work too.
This place is a cultural treasure not just for Denver and Colorado, but for the country. It is an amazing collection of arts and crafts from the last 150 years, going beyond the history of what the namesake Vance Kirkland created. The displays are an amazing mix of paintings on the wall and furniture with sculptures and everyday items. I especially like the art deco and art nouveau houseware items. We last visited before they moved to the new location partly because they don't allow children under 13. Glad we checked out the new, bigger location. Fun to see, too, how they incorporated the old studio building into the new venue after moving it from several miles away.
Beautiful building and excellent displays of paintings and decorative arts. An excellent way to discover little-known Colorado artists!Visited onWeekendWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
If you’re a lover of fine arts and design, this is a MUST see. Absolutely stunning collection filled with the most beautiful artifacts collected from all over the world. Immaculately maintained and displayed. From stills to prints, sculptures small and large, it is the single best collection of unique and forward thinking art and design anywhere in the world. Went during Denver arts week which happens during the first Saturday of November where multiple art museums graciously open up their doors for free between 5-10pm. Museum admission is not expensive on most other days and it’s a fantastic way to spend some time and taking in the breathtaking modern art pieces with many that transcend time and still can be considered pieces that should not be missed hundreds of years later.
Born and raised in Denver and I had never heard of Kirkland before heading down to the museum… and man, I’m glade we made a n afternoon out off it! Not only was he amazingly talented but the museum is beautifully curated.
