Create, Build & Imagine at the New Shop in the North Building

The Shop at the Denver Art Museum is excited to launch an expanded selection of creative products for children, families, and the young at heart. We have completely transformed the Shop in the North Building. Beginning May 30 shelves will be full of supplies and kits that will spark imagination in kids of all ages.

You’ll find a wide variety of kids’ art activity sets organized by age group for easy selection, in addition to books, art materials, puzzles and games that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The Shop has also collaborated with the museum’s education team to select products that complement the Create-n-Take activities located throughout the galleries.
