The Denver Art Museum is a welcome surprise and a diversion from the ordinary. Art comes in many forms, and the DAM has most of them. It has an unusual mix of sculptures, pottery, photography and other mediums - often strange and surreal, but rarely predictable. Diversity is what defines the Denver Art Museum. How many other art museums have a collection of totem poles? The building itself is even piece of art, which makes sense considering it's an art museum. It has 26 sides and is covered with a million distinctive gray glass tiles with an unusual assortment of odd-shaped windows. The museum showcases eight floors of awe-inspiring art, each floor focusing on a different genre or culture. It is the largest art museum between Kansas City and the West Coast, with more than 40,000 works from all corners of the globe. Remarkably, less than 10 percent of their entire collection is on display at one time. The museum is on the verge of an ambitious expansion program that will allow them more space to present their art. The Denver Art Museum is internationally renowned for its extraordinary scope of Native American and Western art. Comprised of more than 17,000 pieces, the collection stands as the most comprehensive and finest of its kind. Visitors must check out the unusual collection of totem poles on this floor. The stunning Asian, pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial collections are worth exploring. And there is always something exciting on view in the modern and contemporary galleries as well. Personal tastes will dictate where you spend the majority of your time wandering about. You should plan on at least 2-3 hours to thoroughly investigate all eight floors. The gift shop, located on the first floor, sells many fine souvenirs and even postcards masquerading as miniature replicas of paintings that hang from the museum walls. The museum offers innovative programs on Saturdays and tours every day.
