Denver Art Museum, Frederic C. Hamilton Building
Tourism Star Award Recipient — 2006
No building in Denver’s history has generated more publicity or anticipation than the new Frederic C. Hamilton Building at the Denver Art Museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind. From the New Yorker to The New York Times, major arts, architecture and travel publications around the world have covered this remarkable new building. Housed within the $90.5 million, 146,000 square foot expansion’s cantilevered walls and uniquely shaped galleries are permanent collections for some 60,000 pieces of modern and contemporary, western American, African and Oceanic art. The crown jewel of Denver’s recent cultural boom, The Frederic C. Hamilton Building provides the opportunity to experience a true urban gem and is sure to entice visitors near and far for many years to come.
