Denver is home to a large and growing Latino population, and this museum focuses on their art and heritage.

Fine and Decorative art museum featuring over 30,000 works by more than 1,500 artists and designers. Building was moved in 2016.

The center has many displays and exhibits focusing on historical sites throughout Colorado (prairie settlement, mine, Native American life, etc.) Great for families with kids and even adults; only takes 1-1½ hours to take in.

Clyfford Still was in the first generation of US abstract expressionist artist of the early-mid 20th century. He pioneered the path which Rothko, Pollock, and others followed. But Still was not concerned with fame or sales, which is why you have heard of the others but not Still. And so he kept most of his works, and his will called for a city to create a museum to exhibit the whole collection, intact, which was a very Still move. Denver rose to the challenge, and the result is this museum: fascinating architecture with fascinating contents. The curators are interested not just in Still's work but in the questions it raises, such as how to preserve forever drawings which fade with light and paintings which darken with time.

Beautiful and lush Denver park, with lakes, flower gardens, a recreation center, soccer fields and tennis courts. Over 160 acres (65 hectares) of natural beauty, surrounded by turn-of-the-19th-century homes. A favorite jogging, volleyball, and drinking destination. This used to be the favorite hang-out of young residents during the summer months, but regulations requiring permits for many common activities have reduced park usage and transferred it to City Park.
