One of the interesting pieces at the CUT Art Museum in Boulder CO
Bruce K.

A small but interesting collection of contemporary art on the Colorado University campus. Some of the exhibits are by CU professors and students. It's an absolutely lovely gallery and I was here on a quiet day so there was no echo from others walking and talking as I enjoyed the artworks. I've been to a few "contemporary" museums and in most cases the art goes way over my head. And a few of the pieces here did exactly that. However, the table was interesting and I really enjoyed a few of the abstract paintings. I found parking to be a significant challenge.

Both the museum and the CU campus are inspirations!

Another amazing exhibit at the DAM! Wow - this one exceeded my expectations and it is the only…read moreplace in the US you can see the DIVA exhibit. I learned, I was entertained, I took a walk down memory lane, and I enjoyed every second! We did not plan enough time as it is seven rooms so we will be going back before it ends to get more time with the 80's DIVAs! The music is great as you walk by the DIVA and it changes as you go. There is much to see and read, a real sensory treat that put a pep in my step for hours after we left. This is a must experience exhibit! The staff is always helpful and friendly and as members we got a discount on the tickets. And when they let us know we only had 15 minutes to get through several rooms, we appreciated the heads-up. Of course there is a wonderful variety of exhibits at DAM, and for the membership makes it where we get a great value and don't feel like we have to get through everything at once.

I did wish it were a bit more extensive, as I would have enjoyed seeing even more. I was curious whether the mannequins were proportioned to reflect each diva's actual size, though it certainly didn't take away from the experience. It would be fantastic to see a future exhibit dedicated to Bob Mackie and his incredible influence on fashion, iconic gowns, and the world of entertainment. The staff and volunteers were great and did an excellent job of encouraging respectful viewing. Some areas became crowded as visitors moved through the exhibit at different paces, but overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience! Was it worth roughly $35 - eh not really in my opinion. To each their own! Parking in downtown is always a pain, so be prepared. All metered or paid surface lots incase you didn't know.

Let it not be said that a small museum cannot have great impact. While this is far from the Louvre,…read morethe carefully-curated collection here explicitly showcases art that isn't necessarily as widely visible as more 'classical' mediums and forms. The cultural impact of the works presented lends a gravity often diminished by less sincere studies of different cultures' art, and the impact of that visibility on awareness is a massive equalizer. That out of the way, whoever does the curation here has an excellent eye. I spent far longer than I'd expected in the reasonably small museum examining a myriad of intricate details on all kinds of pieces, fro pottery to furniture to paintings and I don't regret a second of it. The aesthetic of the exhibits is all over the place, but that's part of the charm of the museum, and what keeps it from being a massive blur of painting after statue after painting, as larger institutions can become. I look forward to seeing what has rotated out and back in again when next I visit.

I had a day to explore Fort Collins and was happy to find this museum. After walking the near by…read moregarden my Yelp app let me know the museum was nearby. There are several collections and galleries within this small gem of a museum. I enjoyed the variety of artwork on display. I was thrilled to see a few textiles displayed. I am so glad I took the time to experience this museum. The staff was very friendly and helpful suggesting other places to see as well as where to park.

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.

This is a lovely museum with friendly staff and great art. When we visited the theme was Colorado…read moreCurrents. This place was a block away from our hotel (you get free admission if you stay at the Limelight!) and a great way to spend an hour or two. It's not an overwhelmingly huge museum and that was great. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

The entire experience was thought-provoking and immersive, and fostered creative inquiry on the part of the viewer at every turn. I also loved how kid-friendly it was and that they had a designated relaxing space for young creative minds. It was nice to be greeted and acknowledged by everyone from reception to the gallery workers. I found them to be welcoming and it was nice that they made themselves available for questions. Upon purchasing tickets, they took the time to describe the layout of the exhibit and that there was a free tour going on if we wanted to join. The archives on the first floor were worth checking out as are the souvenirs near the front door. The building is easily accessible and parking during a weekday afternoon was plenty and easy to find on the street, otherwise they have a preferred lot at 1250 Bannock. Tickets were $15 and residents get a $2 discount. If you haven't visited yet and appreciate abstract contemporary art, the Still is a must-see.

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.

The music was wonderfully Mexican and Frida's art is so intriguing. Frida's life is told through her photos and art in blasts of movement and color. Brian and I attended a showing last night. I was impressed by the attention to detail. I wish there had been projection on the floor too- as I remember was the case at the venue where we saw the Van Gogh immersive exhibition. Last night, we were able to sit on benches or the floor. It was not crowded which left us with an awesome view. The venue is cold. They offer coat check but you might want to hang on to your jacket. Photos and videos are allowed without flash. They offer drinks and snacks in the lobby. There is a gift shop but bring a heavy wallet. The prices are extremely high. Parking is not great. There is a dirt lot about a block away. The close-up parking is for Metro students only with a parking pass. Go for the show-not the refreshments or gift buying. The show is great!!
