About the Art Museum:
The Denver Art Museum opened its sleek new wing, the Hamilton Building, in October 2006. The spare, modern space contrasts with the medieval fortress of the old museum, now referred to as the North Building. The two buildings are connected by a bridge over 13th Avenue.
The North Building houses the museum's collection of pre-Impressionist art, while the Hamilton Building houses Impressionist art through modern art. World-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind designed the Hamilton Building.
