Museum of Contemporary Art

Category: Museum

Rotating avant-garde exhibitions by numerous local and national artists form the main attraction at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. The museum has five distinct galleries, three spaces for education, multiple sites for special projects and commissioned works, and one live art/lecture hall. The galleries rotate in a sequence that means at least one is almost always active and new, providing return viewers with new pieces to see during return visits.

Popular aspects of the museum include the MI 5 Program, which is intended to make the museum cater cover the full spectrum of five intelligences discovered by Howard Gardner, and the very popular “Penny Saturdays”, which invites everyone to visit the museum on the first Saturday of the month for just one cent. Tours are available by request for $8 per person.
