A
Denver Art Museum
The DAM is home to one of the largest Native American art collections in the USA, and puts on special avant-garde multimedia exhibits. The Western American Art section of the permanent collection is justifiably famous.
The $110-million Frederic C Hamilton wing, designed by Daniel Libeskind, is a strange, angular, fan-like edifice. It's inspired and mesmerizing. If you think the place looks weird from the outside, look inside: here shapes shift with each turn thanks to a combination of design and uncanny natural-light tricks.

Illiterate Media
This gallery grew out of Illiterate Magazine, a locally published art publication, and their thrust maintains a multidisciplinary edge, hosting events and hanging shows of regional artists such as Denver painter Ravi Zupa. Progressive and hip, its fits in perfectly in the South Broadway neighborhood.

C
Museum of Contemporary Art
This space was built with interaction and engagement in mind – there's no front door – and Denver's home for contemporary art can be provocative, delightful or a bit disappointing, depending on the show. The focus is on mixed media contemporary works from American and international artists.
