Denver Art Museum
Tourism Star Award Recipient — 2000
With their block buster Impressionism show, the Denver Art Museum set new attendance records in 1999, attracting visitors from throughout the region and across the nation. The approval of their expansion in 1999 will allow the Museum to attract even more large international art exhibits in the future, as well as showcase more of their permanent collection. Already considered one of the top tourist attractions in Denver, the Art Museum is to be commended for the work they have done in bringing major international art exhibitions to Denver.
