Take a new approach to your museum visit in the month of May with some surprising activities for the whole family.
Catch an unexpected musical performance!
Stop by Create Playdate on Wednesday, May 9, to catch a mini-opera with perennial favorites Central City Opera. Create an animal disguise, and participate in one of their kid-friendly performances at 10:45 am, 11:30 am, and 12:30 pm. Music and making happen in A Walk in the Woods on Level 3.
This April, get a conversation started when you visit the museum as a family. Pick up a “Fun Things for Families to Do Today” brochure, and check out the “TALK ABOUT IT!” tabs for discussion ideas. Pair the conversation starters with our programs and exhibitions to create a fun family visit.

History, Artistry & Science
Traditional conservation embodies what I like to refer to as the “holy trinity” of disciplines: history, artistic competency, and science. The marriage of these three areas make conservation stand apart from restoration—or simply making something look good or better.
We are ready to shake off those winter blues and gear up for a very busy Spring Break at the Denver Art Museum.

Create-n-Takes
Dear Families,
We invite you to fall in love with art in February at the Denver Art Museum!
Swoon over Free First Saturday (February 3)
Free First Saturday on February 3 will have you swooning with joy! Take a walk on the wild side in the family fun space, A Walk in the Woods! Play, imagine, and make art to take home. Spot birds in a colorful flock, mix-and-match animal costumes to create new creatures; build horse sculptures inspired by artist Deborah Butterfield, and make a shadowbox to display your favorite creatures.

Como ya llegó el 2018, es hora de fijar nuestros propósitos para el año nuevo. El Denver Art Museum te ayudará a empezar con el pie derecho en enero.
Propósito 1: divertirse en familia.
Happy New Year! It’s time to set some resolutions. Let the Denver Art Museum start you off on the right foot in the month of January.
Resolution #1: Have fun as a family!
En diciembre habrá muchísimas actividades para toda la familia en el DAM. Podrá estar cerrado el Edificio Norte, pero hay tanto que hacer en el Edificio Hamilton que quizá quieras regresar una y otra vez para divertirte con nosotros. Como siempre, los jóvenes de hasta 18 años entran gratis al DAM.
December is packed full of things for families to do at the DAM. The North Building might be closed, but there is so much to do in the Hamilton Building, you may want to come back multiple times to join in all the fun! As always, youth 18 and under receive free general admission to the DAM.
