This four-story museum was built with interaction and engagement in mind, and Denver’s home for contemporary art can be provocative, confusing or delightful, depending on the show. Regardless, the work always makes you think. After your visit, head to the rooftop cafe for a drink and spectacular views of downtown Denver.
