A “phony.” Usually used to describe a person who’s talk is bigger than action; used to describe a braggart.

With a collection of over 70,000 pieces of art ranging from Asian, modern,

contemporary, European and western American art, the Denver Art

Museum is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast.

The Denver Artists’ Club founded the Denver Art Museum in 1893. Over the years, there

have been numerous homes for the museum, from a downtown mansion to a public

library, as well as a section of the Denver City and County Building. Galleries have been

opened on 14th Avenue Parkway in 1949, and a center for children’s art activities was added

in the early 1950s. The museum offers a vast array of exhibitions ranging from cultures

around the world.
