Denver Art Museum

With seven stories filled to the brim with works by famed artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe and Frederic Remington, the Denver Art Museum is any art aficionado's dream. Assembled over 40 years, this museum's collection of Western art is one of the most prestigious in the country. While the attractiveness of the building itself (designed in the 1970's) is up for debate, one TripAdvisor user writes: "Fabulous contemporary galleries, wonderful Western and Asian art collections."
