The massive, fortress-like Denver Art Museum has a vast collection which includes American Indian, African, European, Asian, and Oceanic Art. Collections also include Spanish colonial and pre-Columbian works.
The remodelled American Indian galleries are particularly impressive, covering a broad range of cultures and tribes from the United States and Canada.

The modern and contemporary art collection features both well known names and emerging talent in a variety of media. There is also a separate gallery dedicated to photography.
The Denver Art Museum began in a building which is now known as the North Building, which was designed by Italian Architect Gio Ponti and opened in 1971. In 2006 the 146,000-square-foot Hamilton Building, an expansion designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, was opened to the public. The new building captured attention with its unique design, inspired by the peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
