Public art by Donald Lipski outside the older wing of the library building.
Views of the newer building, designed by Michael Graves and completed in 1995.
Old (left) and new (right) together.
The new titanium-clad wing of the Denver Art Museum was designed by Daniel Libeskind. Lao Tzu's Red Steel Sculpture sits in the plaza...
...as does Big Sweep, by Coosje van Bruggen and Claes Oldenburg.
Some of our favorite works from the museum, known for its Native American collection:
Mud Woman Rolls On, by Roxanne Swentzell, 2011.
Pottery, ranging from recently created pieces...
...to works made in the 1400s.
As well as an outstanding collection of feather baskets...
...and corn-husk bags.
Young Woman, by Allan Houser, 1993.
Jar, by Richard Zane Smith, 2000s.
On our way to the Denver History Center, we stopped at the Tattered Cover, which is one of the largest independent bookstores in the U.S.
At the History Center we saw a number of interactive exhibits and learned to make cordage from a single strand of twine.
