Founded in 1893, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) is the largest art museum between Kansas City and the West Coast, with over 60,000 works of art in eight curatorial departments. The strength of the DAM's collection is in the Art of the Americas--encompassing pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art as well as an internationally acclaimed American Indian collection.
The DAM has been recognized nationally and internationally for its interactive and family-friendly activities. The museum offers a variety of innovative and interactive programs, including the Just For Fun Family Center, Family Backpacks, the Kids Corner, Eye Spy gallery games and the Discovery Library.
Architect Gio Ponti of Italy designed the Denver Art Museum's current striking building, which opened in 1971--a work of art in itself. The exterior of the 28-sided, two-towered building is covered with more than one million faceted, shimmering gray tiles developed by Dow Corning.
A new building, designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, is currently under construction. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building will consist of geometric shards flaring out like titanium flower petals; an enclosed bridge will connect it to the Ponti building. Including permanent gallery space, special exhibition venues, a café and a sculpture garden, the new Hamilton Building will double the Museum's size. When the new Museum complex opens to the public in the fall of 2006, it will be an architectural landmark for Denver and the region.
