The Best Art Museum in Denver to Explore the Old West and the New West.

The American Museum of Western Art (AMWA) is more than your typical art museum. It is a chance to venture into the beauty of awe-inspiring landscapes. It is an opportunity to ponder art’s role in shaping perceptions of the West. It is a place to be inspired by the tapestry of people and cultures that thrive here in the West. With over 300 paintings by more than 180 artists, the museum is home to one of the greatest surveys of Western American art in the country – The Anschutz Collection.

Located in the heart of downtown Denver, AMWA is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. During these hours, patrons ages eight and older are invited to explore the museum through Self-Guided Tours. The museum also offers Guided Tours and art enrichment programs. At AMWA, there is a story in every brushstroke, history in every frame, and hidden gems around every corner.
