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.

Join us for a one-hour tour of The Kirkland, now part of the Denver Art Museum's campus.

The Kirkland brings to life 150 years of artistic innovation, offering visitors of all ages an immersive journey through international decorative arts, Colorado’s rich artistic heritage, and the visionary work of artist Vance Kirkland. pecially trained docents will explore highlights of this rich collection, including artist Vance Kirkland's original studio and art school building.

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.

Take a closer look at three artworks in the Andrea Carlson: A Constant Sky exhibition, only on view through February 15, 2026.

These tours explore three of Carlson’s prismatic and densely filled imagined landscapes in just 30 minutes. Together we’ll consider the layered, reverberating histories held within landscapes and the alternative worlds that they offer us.
