On a hot summer day when you are over the heat, GO TO THE MUSEUM!! It is nice and cool inside so…read moreyou can stroll until your hearts content and never sweat! On the day that I visited there was a special art event. A ticket included visiting all 3 buildings, and making an art project! It was inspiring to tour the museum and be in awe of the different paintings, pottery, woodwork, bright colors and then be creative! Entry fee for tickets is $22 for adults, $19 for seniors. The museum is so awesome you'll probably want to go back soon so do what I did.... Become a member! They have many different memberships for individuals or families. I chose the dual membership for 2 people and it's $95. It has many benefits so check it out online. Parking can be difficult and it requires paying for parking unless you are smart and use public transportation. That way you can have relax and avoid driving downtown. I love this museum and the ability to take the local train and be dropped off by the free 16th Street bus.

Considering that I paid the after 5pm discount fee of $5 [Tues-Thurs], I would rate it a 4/5. If I…read morehad to pay the regular $14 admission fee, I probably would rate it a 3-3.5/5. You have to park in the street. They do give you a free coin to store your belongings in a locker for the duration of your stay. The museum itself is kinda small. Although it has 3 floors, there's only 1-2 exhibitions per floor. The rooftop is also small & the outdoor city views are sort of limiting. So in general, you can easily complete the whole museum in a matter of 30-60 min tops. They feature rotating exhibitions. So every few months or so, the theme is different & you can come back to see totally new artwork. It's really nice that they feature local artists that are Denver based and display their ideas & artistry to the world. I really enjoyed spending some time in the afternoon walking around & admiring some of the art. It was definitely a good way to kill time & spend time indoors away from the heat/cold.

I've been here twice- most recently because I was able to get a free ticket through the Denver…read morepublic library, and previously to attend a wine and Halloween candy pairing party. If you get a chance to attend their events, they are really fun and worth the price of admission. I also really enjoy their ever rotating art collection. They have some really great local and minority artists, but what really tugged on my heart this time was the exhibit of teen artists. Absolutely adore seeing kids express themselves through art, and their statements about their art were truly eloquent. Parking downtown sucks, as usual, but if you come on a Sunday you might be able to find a metered spot for free. I'm sure I'll be back, most likely for an event! I know I'll be recommending their teen program to some of my more artistic students.

Today 6/14/26 was a free day ( my luck) so I bought a gift for the grands since they couldn't attend (sic). Inside and outside were fun creative activities for kids to partake. Music inside was part of the paintings. A DJ on the lawn to reach other senses. 7/26/26 is the next free day - GO! I was delighted to peruse this museum and change my previous plans.

Denver is one of my favorite cities and this museum definitely is a key factor. There are not that…read moremany museums dedicated to a single artists (Andy Warhol Museum is another one I visited) but they truely give you a unique experience!! Designed specifically to display Clyfford Still's work, this "small" museum (as many of my museum colleagues would call it) is actually quite large - enough for a few hours of wondering... The building itself is a beautiful and perfectly complements the art collection's scale, themes, and colors. I was told it has over 3000 pieces (over 90%) of the artist's works; and he believed the best way to experience an artist's work was by seeing it all in one place. It was indeed a great experience to be submerged in such an environment -- you feel so much more who he was and what he wanted to express. Must give this "small" museum a BIG applause! Everything was nicely done and it was a great pleasure to visit. AND, their website (https://clyffordstillmuseum.org/) is absolutely amazing! I've seen many museums' websites and theirs is the first one where I saw "Accessibility Adjustments" tool (look for the small person in a circle at the lower left corner) that helps people with different challenges. Bravo!! P.S. This review is from a draft I did in 2024, so quite late in publishing. I lost the photos I took so the following photos are from their websites.

My experience was mixed. The Exhibit itself was nice - I got to learn more about the life of Van…read moreGogh and was exposed to more of his work that I wasn't aware of. The issue mainly had to do with the air conditioning (or lack thereof). It made me personally want to speed through it after a certain point - toward the end there were rooms where I felt like I rushed out of just to get to the end (the gift shop.) Although I did not purchase anything, I did appreciate the variety of items that were being sold - and the prices didn't break the bank. For the ticket pricing, I did expect there to be more but I'm not entirely sure if it was just the lack of air conditioning that made the experience less than ideal.

Parts of the exhibit are really cool - like the letters room and the about room. The rest is a meh with the sunflower room being downright terrible!! Didn't expect to see so many pieces of art digitized and floating across large draped fabrics, and it was pretty neat to see them but also the colors were very muted/dull because of the projector and fabric setup.

Because you're venue is unsafe! My mother fell off the painted stairs at the Van Gogh exhibit in…read moreDenver. She's 81 years Young. She had just had reverse shoulder replacement surgery on her left arrm. The stairs the exit which was the only exit available! There was no ADA accessible access to the parking lot which we had parked in. Those stairs had been painted to match the paint of the V"an Gogh Blue" marketing schematics, in order to match the exhibit. The stairs she was forced to use, as the only exit accessible, were not only painted dark blue, but also, didn't have a safe handrail for the entire stairwell. The rrailing ends before the last 2 steps of this very very dangerous exit! My mother, 81 years young, took a tumble off of those stairs, and then fell again from those unmasked, unlighted, and dangerous EXIT ONLY stairs, onto the next unmarked curb-to-parking lot. That is about a 1.5 ft curb that's was painted/marked f previously before was a hazard, designated as a no Park no standing fire lane. That City required fire lane designation and safety hazard that's required by the City and county of Denver was painted over by the lighthouse venue to match theVan Gogh dark navy blue exhibit color palette. 100% unacceptable that this happened with such disregard for public safety and those that have disabilities! The staff would not respond to an emergency, when they were allergic to the situation. Paying such an exuberant amount of money for a immersive experience, if that experience is so immersive that it caused bodily damage, they should be response enough to help the people that have paid the money to attend the exhibit. The lack of responsibility, the lack of education of the employees responsible for the safety of the guests, and a lack of not giving a crap about its patients with disabilities is more than disappointing I would highly recommend that any events lighthouse is hosting, whatever it might be, should be ill advised for those with disabilities or a handicap status. They are obviously discriminatory and do not care about the community that deserves I have the same experience that any fully capable individual can experience without a disability. Lighthouse is a irresponsible venue, and a hazard to the community and the health of the artistic community. I would never recommend this venue for any event! EVER I TRIED TO REACH OUT PRIVATELY TO THE VENUE, AND THEY TOLD ME NOT OUR FAULT THAT SHE CAN'T WALK! #lighthouse #Denver #Vangough #metropolitanStateUniversity #Metro #Msu #DenverArts #DenverNews #9Kusa #Channel7Denver #TheDenverChannel This resulted in many trips to the ER, neurologists, and general practitioner. The security closed the event early that night, because there was not very many people at the exhibit. When we tried to ask for help and knock on the exhibit exit and entrance doors, which were closed an hour earlier than our ticketed time because there was not enough people in the venue, not one person would respond or interact with us regarding the serious accident that occurred out front of the venue. We waited for over an hour for help to get my mother the assistant that she needed. The property managers that own the property that is least to Metropolitan State University told us they're not responsible for anything related to the use of this space. City and county of Denver should be appalled at how they're handling this management situation! Disgusting! What money hungry property development / property management company would be so irresponsible not only for the safety of guest visiting and experience within the campus environment, but to the residence of the property. I spoke with numerous individuals it's their safety concerns are never addressed and have been a problem for years now! Speak up, speak out, speak into activism, for people with disabilities and not proper access!

This museum had my name on it. Being into selfies for the last 25 years -- before the word,…read more"selfie," was created, to visit the Denver Selfie Museum made sense. It's a fun way to spend 90 minutes to 120 minutes based on your fascination level and how many people are with you to indulge. For about $50 to 60 a person if I recall, you can go nuts doing selfies within a number of themed sets and installed art stages. There are selfie tripods set up for each set with the adequate lighting to take shots of yourself to show off to your friends, fuel your vanity, and just have a bit of amusement and fun. Each of the sets and art installations are different theme-wise such as the bathtub and dressing room sets, the psychedelic landscapes with Jim Henson-like plush animals, surreal backgrounds, gym-like settings with punching bags, food-centric backdrops, fake advertising murals, and more. You have to love taking selfies to spend the money for a couple of hours. Additionally, they have an escape room if you have some friends who may be inclined and get selfied out.

We had a reservation for the collection at 1:45 so we ate at the Tuscany Coffee & Deli (on the 16th St mall) for lunch and while we waited for our appointment. Initially we were confused about the collection hours and we left a VM and emailed but no response to see if we could go to the collection before our scheduled appointment (which we did anyway). A employee explained the appointment was to tell how many people would attend at a certain time. We arrived to find the building doors were locked but luckily a gentleman who works there let us in and also let us into the elevator to the 5th floor where we were greeted by an employee who explained about the visit. We were free to roam the entire 5th floor of each office at our leisure (only saw one other couple) that held exhibits from contemporary artists from around the world. There were information in the rooms providing brief descriptions of each exhibit. Some of the items were interactive. The collection is free and open to the public (Wednesday through Friday with hours from 11am to 5pm). For more information, please visit their site on Facebook or at their website.

I fortunately had the opportunity to visit this museum before the pandemic hit and was very glad…read morethat i did. The collection of art and items here is definitely very eclectic, but is also very thought provoking at the same time. This collection is definitely much nicer than most free collections that I've seen in other cities, and I would have no problem paying a small fee to visit it again. As the rooms were not busy during my visit, I had the opportunity to slowly enjoy the art - this was good as some areas have quite a bit of items to see in a small area. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Denver and enjoy art -- especially unusual and creative art.

Art deco, modern, postmodern, futuristic space like design. Great juxtaposition of wall art/paintings and furniture. Loved the vignettes they created. I also loved how they preserved Kirkland's studio and showed his non-traditional painting methods throughout the years. It's small enough that it's not overwhelming. Maybe an hour to 90 minutes if you look at every single little thing. Look into the history of the building as well--it was physically moved from its original location, so that's pretty cool! Tons of beautiful artifacts to appreciate here and a super welcoming staff. I think I paid 30 dollars, but it gets you into all three affiliated museums, and I went a few days before and it was a free day. So if you time it right, you can have a budget friendly, art-filled day.

I particularly enjoyed the portion about the Jewish migration to Colorado and the Jewish-owned businesses established way back then that are still around today. In addition to the viewing the exhibit, we celebrated World Kugel Day out in the museum's yard. If you've never had kugel (we hadn't), it's a sort of noodle casserole that can be savory or sweet. We sampled most all of the varieties entered into the kugel tasting contest. One of the kugel bakers was none other than Daniel Asher, Executive Chef of Linger and Root Down Restaurants. I was excited to try his Thai Coconut Curry Kugel with Roasted Peach-Sriracha Jam. It was quite tasty, but not my favorite. I liked the winning kugel better: Artichoke & Brie Kugel created by Debbie Foster. We also enjoyed some free frozen yogurt and sorbet from Menchie's, watched some artists paint, and heard some live music courtesy of Rocky Mountain Jewgrass. The Mizel Museum is an unexpected and delightful part of a quiet residential neighborhood. I'm pleased that it's within walking distance of my home. I hope you'll plan to drop by sometime and learn something new.
