    When we walked in the door the greeter said, "Can I help you with something?" That was an odd greeting. Did we look like we were looking for a bathroom? I think not. While looking at a painting (over 18 inches away) one of their "controllers" said, "Please step back from the painting." I didn't hear him so I said, "Excuse me". So he yelled at me, "I SAID STEP BACK FROM THE PAINTING!" Wow! This is not my first art museum, art show or even art sale. That was rude! At the front door there is a brief description that reads, "We own 98% of Mr. Still's work". There is a reason. My suggestion is to barrow a book on Still from the library and call it "done".

    Um - is this the sexiest building in Denver?! There is a major focus on art preservation and curation. I found that to be very interesting. Also the story of "why the clyfford still museum" is also very interesting! I was surprised and delighted that the museum focused on things like art preservation education and since many works are on paper, it reminded me of my days in college and in pre-press and graphic design considering UV coatings, humidity and storage of paper, paper types, etc. also as a GenX former print magazine hoarder, it reminded me of how all those international fashion and culture mags needed better preservation! Anyway what a great space to wander in and don't forget to go outside into the garden areas! Take a textured concrete background selfie or a mental pause for some social media browsing in the meditative urban ambiance. -- Also, if you listen to the podcast - City Cast Denver - you'll immediately recognize the voiceover on the video that plays when you first enter. That person has such a distinct voice! So um.. it was startling - to be greeted by a "familiar" voice!

    I like to seek out specialty-type museums, time permitting, when I am away from home. This quite unique (as a concept) art museum, dedicated to a single artist, Clyfford Still ... who I had not heard of perviously, checks the "specialty-type box" for me. The museum is located nearby several other museums, and close to the capital. Nicely designed building. Friendly, helpful people -- Anna and Anthony -- at the entrance desk area (see photo). I wanted to recognize Anna, who is pictured, as she was delightfully engaging, willingly answered my questions, and made a nice museum experience even better. Thanks Anna! On the first floor you can watch a video that is a nice introduction to this artist and the museum, and the timeline of this artist's life in context with what else is going on in the world at the time, was very interesting. The artwork, which is on the second floor in nine different rooms, although I'm not sure I counted correctly, is approached best by starting with the artist's early years and proceeding through the later years. While I enjoyed some of the artwork, to me, it is the entire experience of this museum and emphasis on this single artist that left me quite fulfilled in terms of this art experience. One quite out of the ordinary characteristics of the artwork is that there are no descriptions, as, apparently, the artist wanted the museum goer to take away their own impression of each piece of artwork. There's also a small, but well stocked area where children, or creative adults can create all kinds of their own artwork. Recommend that this museum be added to your list of places to visit while in Denver!

    Classic, big, abstract expressionist piece - unnamed - as all pieces are without names or titles

    Clyf, Clyfford, Mr. Still, Clyford Still, Mr. Clyfford Still was a unique abstract expressionist. Born in 1904 and deceased in 1980. How was he unique? He kept most of his work, like 93-95% to himself - not selling it or displaying it to make a living or a buck. He despised commercial art and yet was very accomplished and regarded. Even without selling or displaying most of his work. He began with landscapes and the migrated to more expressionistic art. Then on to abstract expressionism. The museum's collection is subject to strict dictates and parameters from his last will and testament and also that of his second wife. He required his work to be displayed collectively and the museum does that well, with rotating exhibits several times a year. Recommended!

    Great retrospective collection and information on this enigmatic abstract artist. Much larger space than it looks.

    Let's just say, it's always my duty to find the places to eat, drink and experience when we go out with just about anyone - unless it's fellow elites! So, when my mother-in-law suggested a day date, I knew just the way to spend an afternoon - lunch and a museum! Off to the Clyfford Still we went, which proved to be a 4 star experience! STAR #1: The museum itself is located downtown, just a stone's throw away from the Colorado History Museum. It's massive in size and easy to spot with ample street and lot parking. This area of town gives off all the artistic meets trendy vibes, so we found ourselves right at home. STAR #2: Tickets are under $10 for an adult to experience the 2 story space - and totally worth it. However, if you're a library card holder, like myself, check out the perks offered via the form of an Adventure Pass. Most libraries offer the ability to reserve up to 4 free tickets for various museums and historic homes throughout Denver - which is how I secured ours! FREE! STAR #3: I'm obsessed with Still's concept of his art. His unique artistic vision evolved over time from outdoor scenes to more abstract shapes, colors and lines - hoping to evoke an idea or feeling. He refuses to use frames, as he stated it took away from the original art - which is totally true! The huge collection of his work has remained together (along with his wife's') and when Denver won the bid to display his work, the museum opened, providing guests with a totally unique look at his work over time. We found ourselves totally immersed in each painting and engaged in discussion about what we all saw - many different from each other - and a very fun way to spend the afternoon! STAR #4: The staff here is beyond friendly and welcoming. We approached the desk in the lobby, to which a smiley young woman greeted us. She gave us the rundown of the property, mentioned her favorite spots throughout the museum and seemed extremely genuine. In admiring some art near the doors to the rear, the art curator provided us with ample information about the history of artwork, how some of Still's paintings are still wet to this day, and how they are being preserved. He walked us through the process, showed us what they were working on currently (outside the glass doors) and went above and beyond to share his experience with Still' work. Very cool! If looking for a spot to spend an afternoon, a date or a solo day, come here!

    So interesting to be able to explore the progression on an artist throughout his entire career. Clyfford Still was a pioneer and leader in the Abstract Expressionist movement. He transformed art in a new approach to painting in the years immediately following World War II prior to well-known colleagues, like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, making these changes. From simple still lives to the images of The Depression and World War II, Clyfford Still used color to explore everyday life. Later he used bold colors to create his groundbreaking abstract images that are labelled with letters and numbers. Peggy Guggenheim gave him a solo exhibition at her gallery. He also had other exhibits until the 1950s when he severed ties to commercial galleries and began to create and collect the paintings that would form this museum. Yellow. Blue. Black. Red. White. PH-351.1947-Y-No. 2. Still wrote in his will that his collection of paintings be bequeathed to an American city that would keep the collection intact to be studied and exhibited. His widow, Patricia Still chose Denver as the lucky recipient of the canvases, drawing and prints. Four works were sold to help endow the museum. Loved being able to explore the galleries filled with oversized canvases and the beautiful contemporary museum that was designed by Allied Works Architecture, led by Brad Cloepfil. The museum is so open and inviting. The colors of Still's painting really draw you in. Even though I did not know the artist, the Clyfford Still Museum was a great place to spend an hour or two. Limited entry times. When I came late in the afternoon, I was the only person in many of the galleries. They participated in NARM and ROAM reciprocity museum passes when I visited. Masks were required.

    Denver won the honor of preserving Clyfford's art collection. His work was a punctuation of the American Abstract Expressionist period allowing the medium to speak. The artwork is curated into different periods of his work and some of his technical approaches. The first floor has biographical information and the second floor is the main gallery. The work is well spaced, which allows the viewer to contemplate on the canvas. There is one room with Clyfford's sketches, and it can inspire young artists.

    Breathtaking collection. It's not often you see a museum hold art pieces from one artist. I loved the flow of the each room. You start with his earlier work. Very deep, emotional and recognizable images depicting humans in almost distressed situations. Transitioning to his abstract expressionism. Strong and vibrant range of primary colors. I especially liked the "yellow room" and the larger canvases. It's interesting to think of how he painted such large canvases. Did he need a ladder? What did his workspace look like? I think it'd be interesting if there was a movie of his life and the museum offered small showings. Don't know if that exists but I think there should be. I'd buy a ticket.

    My sister and I had the most exceptional visit to the Clyfford Still Museum. After deciding we'd stay at the Art Hotel right around the corner I knew securing tickets for us to visit would be a good move. We had 4p entry and practically had the entire place to ourselves, it was very special. There was one other party of two there and very rarely except when I went back to revisit a few galleries were we ever around anyone else for even a moment. I really loved the later works. There was one in particular I asked about that happened to be in the achieves down below that I went looking for but unfortunately things weren't slid in a way that I could happen to spot it and they weren't able to unlock the achieves. I did ask ;) It was one of his more classic works from the 50's PH-401 if they do happen to take it out. The architecture of the building was also a nice treat. I really wanted to reunite with my sister and share a special time, surrounded by art since she's super artsy (where I'm more of the talentless one but have an appreciation for it) and that's exactly what our visit here was. During these unusual times and after not seeing her for nearly 7 months I wanted us to be able have a peaceful, calm, beautiful, quiet experience together. I highly recommend visiting if you've been craving a museum. Outstanding collection, even if I didn't care much for his earlier work, just not my personal preference. Masks are of course required.

    Awesome art museum in Denver! We usually always just go to the main Denver Art Museum but decided to check out this smaller place just behind the Denver Art Museum. The Clyfford Still Museum is so cool! It has great art and the building is really unique. We loved it and can't wait to go back to see another exhibit. Everyone was friendly, the building isn't too crowded, and there's a lot of unique art. We enjoyed sitting in all the rooms and observing the art. Highly recommend for abstract and contemporary art and if you need a new and different perspective on art. My style isn't really abstract so some of my favorite pieces I posted aren't quite that besides a couple but he had some really great other art too! Also if you need a break from crowds at museums.

    Small and fun Museum. Master artist. Interesting life story. Interesting story on how the museum was created. A good 2 hours of fun.

    Massive canvas.
    Werner W.

    First and foremost, I love the architecture of this museum. It is beautiful. The natural lighting, the concrete, spectacular. Art however is subjective. To me the museum felt like an unneeded celebration of another white artist whose art had to be displayed by itself to stand out. Was Clyfford Still talented, undoubtedly. The art however reminded me of the discarded "art" pieces of the 50's dropped off at Goodwill after grandma has passed away. Perhaps not a fair assessment if you are a fan of the artist or this type of work. I am glad I visited, especially to explore the architecture of the building. Do I need to go back. Not really. For me its building 5 stars, art 3.

Quality can be highly variable, but that's always in the eye of the beholder. The focus is on contemporary art, as the name says, and much of this is intended to be highly provocative. I'm not a fan of art that requires a lengthy, written explanation to make sense and the curators here are often fond of that stuff, but I've also seen many beautiful, moving, thought-provoking, and inspiring exhibits.

All of the parking and access options can be found on the Web site at: Visit/Getting to MCA Denver The MCA has a very active schedule of events including lectures, classes, tours, film, parties, and many experiences geared to teens. The museum operates a second facility at the Holiday Theater in Lower Highlands in addition to the main Fries building. The Fries building is an excellent space for the display of contemporary art and was designed by starchitect David Adjaye. The Holiday Theater, built in 1914, then the Egyptian Theater (1926-1953), has been restored by the MCA as a 400-seat venue and performance hub for arts programming. Another facet of the museum is the Octopus Initiative. The MCA has assembled a collection of works by local Denver artists. Any Denver resident can create a list of favorites, then participate in a rotating lottery where these works are loaned out for ten month periods. The MCA has something for almost everyone and is certainly a major Denver treasure worth checking out.

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!

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.

    An interesting and educational look into the history and journey of the art of the Jewish people…read more As we walked in we were greeted by Penny, who did a good job on explaining the beginning and 4,000 year art history of the Jewish people that was prominently displayed. Even though this was a small building, the space was well utilized and the exhibits were very well organized. Anybody that enjoys both art and history will enjoy this place.

    I wholeheartedly concur with Ilona F.'s review of the "Gathering Sparks" exhibit. The artwork and…read morethe artifacts are super cool and the exhibit was thoroughly informative about Jewish history, daily life, and yearly celebrations. 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.

There are many employees around to explain what you are looking at, and help you get the best picture. There is a small gift shop also.

Our daughter is 31 years old so perhaps we were a little above the targeted demographics but we had a nice time. The exhibits were interesting and many photo opportunities that presented interesting illusions. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, guiding guests through each activity, helping to explain the setup, and even taking our photos. It was the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving so the building was somewhat crowded with families but we never had to wait more then a few minutes before accessing one of the exhibits. Highly recommend MOI to families with preteen and younger children. It may even be enjoyable for a young couple on a date night. We were able to finish all of the exhibits in 30 minutes, we thought there may be a second floor but after walking through the space a second time we realized that was it. Fun but the ticket price and cost for parking may be a bit steep for some.
