With galleries showcasing more than 70,000 works by renowned artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Winslow Homer, the Denver Art Museum boasts one of the most impressive art collections between Chicago and the West Coast. Spanning across two buildings, the museum's holdings range from pre-Columbian artifacts to contemporary displays featuring mediums such as painting and sculpture. A visit to the Denver Art Museum is particularly notable for its extensive compilation of western American art, encompassing paintings, sculptures, and works on paper related to the West over the past two centuries.
