Public Tours

Discover how the Denver Art Museum's three unique buildings (the Hamilton Building, Martin Building, and The Kirkland) exemplify the changing vision of what an art museum can be. Weather permitting, the tours will include time outdoors exploring the buildings’ exteriors in addition to the galleries.

Architecture Tours occur on the second Saturday of each month.

Discover treasures from the Denver Art Museum’s fashion collection in Conversation Pieces: Stories from the Fashion Archives, many of which are on view in this exhibition for the first time ever. Engage in conversations around designers’ influences, inspirations, and inventions, with fashion design covering about 150 years.

Tours resume in October.

Join us for a 3 in 30 tour of Space Is the Place: Art & Design in the Atomic Age. Led by specially trained docents, these tours explore three pieces in 30 minutes from the mid-20th century that were inspired by the world's fascination with the universe.

3 in 30 Tours are short tours of three artworks in 30 minutes.

The Denver Art Museum's permanent collection includes objects by artists from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds throughout history. And the wide variety of artwork on view allows us to make unexpected connections, giving us an opportunity to explore our shared experiences across time and space. Each 3 in 30 Tour highlights the many ways that these unexpected connections can spark new ideas and perspectives.
