Welcome to the
Denver Art Museum

It's almost time! After four years of closure for renovation, the Martin Building (formerly known as the North Building) is reopening on Sunday, October 24.

We're celebrating opening day with a number of onsite activities and by offering free general admission to all visitors. Advance ticket reservation is encouraged for the best visit experience. Limited tickets will be sold onsite on opening day, pending availability and capacity limitations.

With the expansion of the museum's campus and programming, now is an excellent time to become a member. Members enjoy daily free general admission, which allows you the opportunity to endlessly explore all of our amazing collections, reinstalled galleries, and new creative spaces. Visit our permanent collections again for the first time in nearly four years, but also discover new features like the Creative Hub, Sensory Garden, Thread Studio, and a rooftop terrace offering stunning city and mountain views.

The Martin Building will be home to two new dining options on level one. The quick-service Café Gio offers casual dining, with both indoor and outdoor seating.

And The Ponti, conceived in collaboration with James Beard Award winner and celebrated Denver chef Jennifer Jasinski, combines art with dining, presenting a locally-sourced and seasonally-inspired menu with high standards of sustainability.

Designed by renowned Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates, the Martin Building (formerly the North Building) first opened in 1971. Its seven-story silhouette is one of the first-ever high-rise art museums and is the only completed building in North America by Ponti.

To commemorate 50 years of Ponti's masterpiece, you're invited to join us at Full Circle, a housewarming party on Friday, October 22. Raise a glass to creativity and community and enjoy live music, thematic treats, cocktails, and more!

In a series of videos on the DAM's YouTube channel, learn how teams of project managers, designers, and contractors worked together to enhance the Martin Building and to create the new Sie Welcome Center, a beacon for creativity that unites the museum's campus.
