Founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists' Club, the Denver Art Museum today is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast. The museum’s global art collections represent cultures around the world, with more than 70,000 works of art in 12 collections, including African art, architecture and design, art of the ancient Americas, Asian art, European and American art before 1900, Latin American art, Oceanic art, modern and contemporary art, photography, textile art and fashion, Indigenous arts of North America, and western American art. The museum’s global collections also reflect work by artists from Denver and the Rocky Mountain region—and provide invaluable ways for the community to learn about the world.

Our Mission

Our mission is to enrich the lives of present and future generations through the acquisition, presentation, and preservation of works of art, supported by exemplary scholarship and public programs related to both its permanent collections and to temporary exhibitions presented by the museum.

Values and Philosophy

What We Value
We believe art has the power to forge connections, bridge differences, and transform lives. Five important characteristics are at the core of who we are:

• Creative
• Curious
• Dynamic
• Inclusive
• Respectful

These values represent the way we strive to interact with each other and with our community every day, inspiring us to create the best workplace possible.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The museum’s board of trustees, volunteers, and staff remain committed to the difficult conversations, deep reflection, and the willingness to grow that are required to make the Denver Art Museum an anti-racist organization. While we are energized by the progress we’ve made, we understand that there is much to be done and that we have benefited from a system that has disenfranchised many. We will undoubtedly misstep along the way, acknowledge and learn from our mistakes and hold ourselves accountable to the commitments we have made. Thank you for your continued support as we continue to learn and evolve while we work towards becoming a more equitable, diverse and inclusive place to work and visit.
