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

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
