Another gem of a museum in Denver. If you're into architecture, it's worth going through for that reason alone. They have a rooftop Cafe space, too. They change shows 4 times a year, so check their website for the current schedule. They put on some terrific exhibitions.

Cute little museum with fairly cheap admission ($9 college student, active military) I enjoyed it! There is a cafe on the top floor, though I didn’t get anything, I really liked the atmosphere. My favorite exhibit was the one on the lower floor (Ken Gun Min!). Kind of small and fast to go through, but was a nice experience.

Love this museum! They hooked me with Dirty South and reeled me in for Cowboy. This museum gives airplay for divergent and diverse perspectives with Cowboy and similar exhibitions that feature work from queer, gay, minority and indigenous artists. Thanks for showing us new ideas and ways of seeing our shared world. The signage in the museum is great and the explanations of the art invaluable but maybe the following could be a touch larger? Can’t wait to see what comes next. :)
