Reviews of Clyfford Still Museum

Caitlin Craig

I brought a group of 12 students here. If you're a school or big group, call them and they will have someone show you around! My school didn't do that, but my students still loved it and were all asking parents to go back during our spring break. I loved the art and wish I had more time to see everything. But the cost was super low, and it means I'll be coming back!

Brad Holland

An extensive collection of one of the great yet somewhat unknown abstractionist, Clifford Still. There are many works too big to fit anywhere but a gallery. Lots of sketches, notes and other personal items that Clifford kept for the most part out of the public's eye. A very well thought out museum in an architecturally interesting building.

Caeth M

Lovely museum, interesting building, helpful staff. Due to the size of the collection so many works are not displayed, but they rotate some in and out regularly from what I understand. Go with an open mind and some time to kill!

S.

Beautiful museum with clear layout. No description for paintings - leaving audience imagining, which is quite interesting.

Rainbow

Great art, amazing! It's small so you can spend a lot of time with the art. You can even see "behind the scenes" like storage and conservation. The architecture is amazing and marches the art too. Security was very friendly and informative. Front desk was great too. Educational program, it was interesting and informative but the education director Victoria very rude- nasty-. Made me sad at such a great museum!

Paul Brock

Hands down the best museum I've been to in my entire life- and I'm an art student in NYC! Besides the art, the gallery quality and architecture itself is so fascinating, wholesome, and a designed experience. Clyfford Still is truly a genius in art in the most formal definition, and his transcendent work will appeal to those mindful-seeker individuals who will see through to Still's well-documented spiritual experience.

Jeremy Petty

A jewel of a place. A must see for any Still admirer and worth visiting if you are unaware of his work.

Nathan McGlothlin

My favorite museum in Denver, hands down! Having only heard his name through studies of 20th century abstract expressionism at first, I was thrilled to see how the artist grew and changed over his career through this exhibit. On this, my 3rd visit, the added focus toward elementary-level learning was an impressive touch. A definite recommendation for any visit to the Mile High City.

Stanley Lipkin

This is gem. I know next to nothing about abstract art, but was very impressed. Not only is the art impressive, but also, the explanatory information is descriptive and educational. The building, built expressly for this art, is a work of art itself. Staff are very helpful too. Well worth a couple of hours

The Foodie Architect

Magnificent architecture. There are 3 different concrete finishes compose the whole building. The combinations creates many interesting feeling in the museum. Art work is amazingly beautiful. It’s one of the jewel of museum!

Michael Rabideau

Wonderful museum to see the developmental years and transitions of a great artist. Denver made a great decision to bid for his collection and make it home for the artist.

Chris Sotraidis

Well-curated and constantly rotating out Still's art, even the museum itself is a beautiful work of art in-itself. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the place isn't too busy during the week. His art is shuffled and rearranged every few months. Lots of history behind him on the first floor, and an area for kids on the second floor. If you're in Denver this is a must.

Susan Schiferl

Fridays are $5 from 5-8pm. This was a pleasant surprise we found online and purchased tickets on their site. The museum was peaceful and calming, we had a lovely time. We particularly enjoyed the maker space, where you can make artist trading cards. The staff was so welcoming and let us pop in, and create with all kinds of supplies in such an inspiring place. Everyone in the shop and front desk were very kind, and had a passion for Still's art and outside connections to other related artists. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Denise Mast

One of the best museums I've ever been to. Still's art, is displayed beautifully and the museum has 95% of his work which rotates regularly. In addition, you learn not only about Still's history but the thought and time period of each work which is lacking in many museums. Do not miss this museum while in Denver both for the well thought out curation but the architecture of the museum is in itself a work of art. Also, bring the kids as there is a massive room of professional art supplies where they can create their own works!

Deborah Snowtala

Nice little museum. Volunteers quite helpful with tidbits of information. Quite a change in subject matter from his early works to his later ones, but similar bold color use throughout.

Steve Replogle

I had never visited the Clyfford Still Museum before, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I found it to be extraordinary. The artwork itself was incredible, of course, but the museum itself is also superb. From the architecture and design to the thoughtfulness underlying the exhibits and displays, I felt that I was on a journey that brought me into powerful and unexpected encounters. Fun fact: Over the past five years, CSM has exhibited approximately 280 paintings. That amounts to just 33 percent of the paintings known to be in its collection.

Bill Sanborn

Really well done museum fully dedicated to Clifford Still. Worth the price. Takes about an hour.

Dom Weldon

Wandered into this museum after checking out the nearby Denver Art Museum. A very beautiful property with multiple levels of exhibits. The Still exhibit itself wasn’t my preferred style of art but it was presented beautifully. Worth checking out for sure.

Ashley Walsh

The Clyfford Still Museum is an amazing concept that showcases an amazing artist's life's work. The really cool thing is that while there are definitely some key pieces of Still's that you will see every time you visit, many of the works are rotated through his massive collection that are all housed within the museum. So there's always something new to see and experience, which makes repeat visits well worth it. The Gallery teachers are all professional art historians and educators, meaning you get a professionally led tour if you choose to take one. I attended the recent Artist Select exhibit opening with guest curator and artist Jonas Burgert, and highly recommend taking a tour to learn more about his process when selecting the works he did, and what his response was to Still's work. Kenda was my tour guide, and she did an amazing job of explaining Buergert's curation and encouraging us to explore our own connections and feelings about the exhibit. If you can sign up for one of Kenda's tours I highly recommend doing so, you'll leave feeling incredibly informed and inspired by Still's work!

Nick Klinstiver

Cool and unique museum. It's a little small and I wish there were more pieces on display. The interactive timeline was really neat. Absolutely worth a visit, especially for the price. Order online to save on ticket prices.

Luke Pharr

One of the finest museums I have ever visited. Left absolutely nothing to be desired. The price is also very good. Skip the Denver Art Museum and come here instead.

Eli Herrera

Well well well… if it ain’t Mr. Clyfford Still! So many different varieties of painting styles and apparently, a great outdoor terrace with cool things that hang and shine. Color pallet was masterful. Canvas size, was extra large. 10/10 would recommend. Don’t overthink it.

Andy Ng

A beautifully designed art museum showcasing the artist Clyfford Still. The ground floor is dedicated to telling his personal life story via videos, interactive media, and personal objects. second floor leads visits through multiple galleries of his large scale paintings. Conveniently located next to the Denver Art Museum.

Kenyon Zimmerman

Love the clyfford still museum. Staff is nice, building is very rich in material, but calming and subdued. And of course, the rotating exhibits are all very well put together and the artwork is generally great.

Tami Hunter

Absolutely phenomenal artwork, friendly staff, and a space to really get into the feel of creating art like his.

Paul Galloway

I thought a whole gallery filled with just one painter might be too much, but because Still's art and technique changed as he got older this place is great. Fantastic art, very well explained and great staff.

Danielle Oakes

Not all of it was quite my style of art, but a very nice building. I'm sure others can appreciate all of his art more than I do. I'm glad we have art museums like this though. There was a room to create your own art--fun for all ages. There was a free music performance outside the evening I was there.

Laurie Pessetto

This museum showcases the majority of Still's work. Arranged chronologically, it shows his artistic progression. There are many historical items about the world events that influenced his development on the first floor. His bold abstracts are impressive, and some are huge.

Elaine Holli

Clifford Still believed that an artists work should be displayed together to best understand their development and progression. I think he would be happy with the way his work is presented! The first part of the museum follows his work chronologically as he transitions between a more traditional art style to abstract expressionism. Then the second half focuses on specific themes throughout his works. It was a cool blend of the two approaches that I really liked because it really helps you to understand the artist and his work. Also, beautiful museum and large collection (they have 95% of his works).

hannah Lane

Impressive art and building. This artist life of work is stunning. One of my favorite places In the world I've been now 7 times. Something new every time.

Joshua Benn

The best artist you've never heard of. He stopped showing his work and continued to paint and create for years. He gifted all of his paintings to a trust with the condition that they create a museum with only his art. His story is much more nuanced and complicated but he really was a rebel, even among the rebels he hung out with (Pollock, Rothko, etc.). Definitely worth taking your time here. One other thing - CSM holds classes sometimes. I'm uploading the little painting I made while I was there. Lots of fun.

Henri Cy Wyatt

An extraordinary array of Clifford Stills’s pieces. His late-career work is especially moving: it evidences a kinetic energy seen by lateral, impressionistic brushstrokes, compared to the works that have a slower vertical orientation.

Victor Wang

This is such a cool collection of artwork from this artist. Pretty small museum but a great way to spend a couple hours and it's even part of Bank of America's Museums on Us program.

Sarah Svatii Says

Wonderful. Wonderful artwerk and presentation 🌹🙏🏾🌹 I loved seeing the art progress over the years❣️ If anyone questions that creating art is spiritual business, this exhibit is proof 🕊️

Kevin Comerford

I really appreciate the Clyfford Still museum - I've had few opportunities to view original works by Still since I was in art school, and the chance to view many of his works in one place was a tremendous experience. My only criticism of the museum is that I wish the galleries were larger, so more of Still's work could be on display at one time. However I understand from the museum staff that they rotate new work into the galleries every four months. For those of us who are from the Western United States, Clyfford Still holds a special place in contemporary American art history. Like Jackson Pollock, Still is one of the few Abstract Expressionists who lived in and was influenced by the American West. Acknowledged generally as one of the founding influences of Abstract Expressionism, Still was widely respected by other painters of his generation. The Clyfford Still Museum is a wonderful tribute to the artist and haven for his work.

Chaz Decker

The art – it goes without saying – is beautiful and varied. And it's nicely grouped and presented in a calm and peaceful environment even compared to other museums.

Wendy Gordon

I didn't expect to like this museum but everything about it is a gem. I don't "get" abstract expressionism but the curators have done an outstanding job tracing the evolution of this artist and making the art more accessible to the layperson. We spent 1.5 hours and really enjoyed every aspect. The entrance fee is affordable. We engaged in interesting conversation with the staff. I walked out understanding a lot more about an important period of art history.

Dino Costa

Building has nice architecture and skylights. You can see painter's evolution from early works more figurative to later works more abstract. The curator tried to organized it to attract children and young moms by making gallery instructions more cute and playful. I myself tought it very silly. The majority of viewers will probably continue to be adults. Painter didn't like to name his works, so they are all numbered.

James Dewhirst

Awesome place for great art. This museum is full of delightful people!!

Sam Dreyfus

I’d never heard of Clyfford still before. We came here for the architecture! Both were amazing!

Ted Rockwell

Incredible and unique. I can only think of one other museum focused on one artist as affecting as this one; the Picasso museum in Paris. Truly a treasure!

Meagan Bender

Incredible museum. I loved being able to learn about Clyfford Still and seeing how his work developed through the years.

Logan Pondexter

The art was beautiful, not a super long walkthrough but if you’re into art would recommend coming here

Irma Zandl

One of the very best museums I’ve ever been to - absolutely phenomenal.

Jessica Snyder

Very nice art history museum in the center of downtown

Justin Modra

Beautiful museum, I really enjoyed my visit and learned a lot. Very helpful staff.

Jason Vogel

Great little museum with modern art right next to the Denver Art Museum. Plus if you have a bank of America account and can prove it you get in for free!

Dan Perkins

A remarkable experience! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The museum itself is well organized, structured both chronologically and thematically. The placards provide context and information about the works without influencing your perception of them, which is a fine line to balance. I felt refreshed, relaxed, and energized while reflecting upon the works. The gallery took me about an hour to go through, but one could easily sit with one work alone for an hour and learn so much. I feel so lucky to have such a unique museum in Denver! I highly recommend this experience.

Nancy Hawver

83% of all Still art is owned by museum

thepainternamedsky

Very nice and quiet, lots of space to view and take in the power of the paintings in their collection.

Robert Schulte

It's great to see one artist's creations all together, housed in such a beautiful building. Be sure to look up, the ceilings are amazing.

Greer Dellinger

The Clyfford Still Museum is my favorite museum in Denver. It's small enough that I can comfortably peruse it, while being much quieter than the DAM. I've always had a pleasant experience with the reception staff and staff in the gallery. And the art speaks to me. It's such a unique experience to see the artist's work transform over time and in conjunction with world events. My favorite piece is PH-247 1915, or "Big Blue." If you have the chance to come to Clyfford Still, I highly recommend it.

Laura Noel

Despite being a lifelong artist and someone who has been practicing abstract expressionism for almost a decade I didn't know who Clyfford Still was until about 3 years ago. Considered one of the fathers of the abstract expressionist movement, I was delighted to learn more about his life and work at this well curated and clean museum. They have a great interactive timeline of his life in context of what else was happening at different periods of his life and something like 93 percent of his body of work on site, which they rotate out during the year. I loved to learn more about how meticulous he was in cataloguing his own work for posterity. As not only an artist and someone who gets a kick out of organization I really enjoyed learning about that part of his process.

Douglas Beasley

An incredible museum devoted to a single great artist. Well worth a visit.

Daniel Tsai

Excellent space. Interesting art collection. Highly informative. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Breakthrough Dad

Has a free day so we went. It was a neat museum and my kids loved the craft area.

Eric Lawson

Cool museum! Really neat architecture, interesting art, and reasonably priced.

Joel Meier

A unique one-in-a-kind museum focused entirely on the works of Clifford Still.

Aaron Fooks

The community-sourced exhibit is so fun, and you can vote for your favorite!

libby bestul

Wonderful timeline of his life with corresponding art history and US history to put it all in context. Pleasant staff. Calming experience

Phil Donahue

An intimate journey in his evolution. Even if you are not a fan of modern art you will see how he got to his fullest expression. Sine it is just Still, you can really focus. Lots more works in the archival area but some of his best works are displayed. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Amy Wagner

Beautiful museum! They have free days throughout the year as well.

Jeanette Weiser

What a spectacular treasure in the heart of Denver. Admittedly didn't know much about Clifford Still before my visit, but was looking for an indoor activity on a blustery day. The entire property, from building to contents, is dedicated to the life and work of this remarkable man, who was quite ahead of his time in the realm of abstract art

Steve Schroeder

One of the finest collections I've seen. If you're close don't miss it.

C Sparks

Interesting museum with the works of Still along with his history of his style development.

Jake Waters

Nice collection of art and great experience for the mind.

Migz Maya

First time visiting this museum...on my road trip had a couple of hours to spare and decided to see this museum. I have never heard of this artist. Definitely a nonconforming to the typical artist life and pressures that come with it. I really enjoyed his earlier paintings when he started experimenting with his craft. It will not disappoint..come with an open mind and look and be ready to look at art from a different perspective..loved it!

CliffM

Outstanding collection of one of America's greatest artist in a beautiful unique building.

Brian Rockwell

I stumbled onto the Clyfford Still Museum after visiting the Denver Art Museum and I was completely blown away. The paintings and his story are breathtaking. The building is beautiful and being surrounded by these enormous achingly gorgeous paintings is an experience. I was not a fan of abstract expressionism but this museum and exhibits help me “get it”. The exhibit rotates every couple months or so. And the current exhibit is spectacular - one room had noise cancelling headphone and putting them on and just looking at the paintings in the complete silence was the most peaceful and stress relieving experiences I’ve had.

Lewis Baden (415HolyGuyArt)

Wonderfully curated. Knowledgeable staff. Friendly guides. Excellently done interactive Timeline.

Jacob White

Fantastic visit to a very empty museum on timed tickets during pandemic. Staff was masked and polite. The art is well presented and the panels detailing Clifford Stills life are interesting yet brief enough to want to read. Gift shop at end of your visit is what we expected. Another side note:. As can be expected the interactive children's art station is closed, but they have created some take home art packs. Expect about an hour and a half visit which allows you to just use the metered parking spots on the street. There were plenty street parking available.

Jeni Abramson

This museum blends an amazing architectural experience with a one-of-a-kind art collection. An absolute must if you are in Denver.

holly marie

Interesting collection of art. The building was absolutely gorgeous & I really enjoyed the interactive art station at the end 🎨 …

Risa Goldstein

I enjoyed this one-exhibit museum dedicated t the life and works of Clyfford Still. This small museum in LODO around the corner from the Denver Art Museum required a $10.00 donation. This museum houses all of Still's vast and eclectic collection of original works. The exhibit begins with the artist's life on a timeline, highlighting his exhibits, chronicled alongside socio-cultural developments and the developments related to the abstract expressionist movement. All the rooms that follow contain Still's public works beginning when he received an award for his first creations after high school, all the way to his death, organized around Still's various 'periods'. The exhibit chronicles Still's life, his career and his activism for the recognition of abstract expressionism and modern artists at large. I would recommend this museum to modern art lovers visiting the Denver Metro area.

David Loewi

A stunning building by Brad Cloepfil, and 95% (!! not a typo !!) of all the work Clyfford Still ever did. A fascinating, insightful look at one of the very first abstract impressionists...if you're interested in art, it's worth traveling a long way to visit Denver.

Logan Evans

This museum is a hidden gem in downtown Denver. I much more enjoyed his earlier works in the welcoming rooms but see he was a transitional influence on the edge of an arriving '60s style of making art The Denver Museum of Art & the Stills are next door to each other and can be visited w/i a few hours. I recommend seeing both but huge edge to the Stills Museum.

Mark Radtke

A delightful collection housed in a remarkable space. The Still is certainly one of Denver’s artistic treasures.

Maryann Coburn

Beautiful museum. A must see when visiting Denver.

RJ Ilg

Experiencing an artist's journey into the abstract is a treat. I ended up taking in one of the pieces for a good 7 minutes. My one drawback is that, even at $10, the price of admission is a little steep for an experience most will complete in under an hour. Still worth one trip though.

Clifton McDowell

Probably the best art museum I’ve ever seen next to an Andy Warhol exhibit or a Peter Max show. Clean air-conditioned I think the stewards are a little much though feels like they follow you through the exhibit

Brian Williams

This is the best museum in Denver. It's a small museum but the architecture is phenomenal! The entire museum is dedicated to one artist and the backstory for that is quite interesting. It's the largest collection of any single artists works and they're spectacular! I wont say too much because it's something you'll want to experience yourself. They also have an unrolling of a never seen piece coming up in November.

Anita Ngai

Really enjoyed the art... read about the art as much as the artist's life to fully appreciate the museum. The building itself is beautiful - many interesting angles from inside and outside that let light through. Look for their evening discount if you're flexible with your schedule and want to save.

Evelyn Qin

Well organized. The art along with the architecture is stunning

B

I absolutely loved this museum! The staff are exceptional. The woman at the front desk was so nice, courteous, and helpful! They provide lockers and a place to hang your coat so you can enjoy looking around without having to carry anything, which is nice. The museum is amazing and Clyfford Still's work and life story are incredible. Definitely would recommend!

Garrod Massey

Okay, so I do not like most art.... this place took my breath away. Clyfford Still is a dark artist, who's use of mostly shades really speaks to what I like. Lots of texture and lots of large pieces. This is my favorite Museum. In fact, I just got back from London's National gallery which has some of the worlds most renowned pieces from the really big and important artists of the past 6 centuries and this museum is still better through my subjective eyes

Eleanor Cotton

My favorite art museum in Denver! The building is beautiful and the collections are wonderfully curated. On another note, Clyfford Still is a wildly fascinating individual and is definitely the original hipster. Everyone should go to this museum to learn more about his unique life and develop a respect for this underappreciated artist! They have free admission from 5-8pm on Fridays, and good deals on regular admission for students!

Trey Meckel

One of the best museums I have ever been to. The concept is fairly unique: virtually all of an influential artist's works in one space. In this case, Still was one of the heroes of abstract expressionism, and this museum holds approximately 95% of his known work. The building lm ding itself was designed to showcase his work and does so spectacularly well. The curation is superb, with some chronological rooms and some thematic rooms. Along with the de Menil collection in Hiuston, one of the best ways to understand a singular vision in a bespoke setting.

John Buckle

I loved it!!! I am enamored with all the paintings!

Marmi Le

Didn't care too much for the art, actually only stopped in here cuz Denver Art Museum next door was having Free First Saturday and this was along the way. But the maker space was the best we have ever experienced. Other family friendly events with arts and crafts tables pale in comparison. They had professional level art supplies to work with. When it was closing time, the adults were the last ones still making art, not the kids!

Sara Boyer

I love art but was not too familiar with Clyffod Still's works. We were invited to an open house and the work and the museum is really gorgeous. The museum gave his pieces ample space so that his beautiful pieces can breathe on the wall. Great museum!

David Udin

Still was a brilliant, innovative artist. This museum houses most of his best work, showing his development in a way no other museum can, since it has many works from throughout his lifetime. It has way more than it can show. I'm familiar with his work from the several major works at the Albright-Knox in Buffalo, equal to his best anywhere, but having nothing like the breadth and depth of this collection. This museum does a first rate job of showing how abstraction developed in his work, and the way his version differs from other major figures. The labelling and explanatory material gives one insight into his artistic philosophy. Worth a trip.

Matt Safran

What a pleasant surprise! It's fascinating to see a museum about this one artist, and to see his stylistic and philosophical evolution over his career. The museum is of course fairly small, larger than a standard Museum exhibition or a gallery, but small enough to go through in about 90 minutes. But seeing some of the additional work still in storage, I know there will be reasons to return. And the building isba great showcase for the art - interesting, but still a backdrop for the works.

Corey Schaffer

This museum is great, but may not be for everyone. Still's work is a little misplaced in Denver and a museum dedicated to one artist may turn some off. Beyond that, the museum is beautifully designed and presents the painter's work chronologically in a unique and accessible method. It's a real treat, and I left appreciating Still and his work much more.

William Smith

Beautiful collection of artwork by a man who I'd previously never heard of. I left here I'm agreement with Clifford Still in that I think it's best to display an artists work alone, without the distraction of other artists' work. This museum does a good job of showcasing Still's progression as an artist and how his work evolved over the years.

Kelly Bullington

I love this place so much it gives me hope

Jesse Stevens

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, yet they were unobtrusive unless you appeared to have a question. The premise was clean clearly labeled and wonderfully aesthetic. The displays are logically configured and placed for maximum impact. I have been to many museums but this one stands above. I highly recomend a visit.

MM Sales

I am not an abstract art aficionado, but Still is terrific. I certainly helped my appreciation that I was accompanied by a volunteer at the museum who REALLY know Still and could help us understand what was going on in his life and paintings. Even if you are not "into" abstract modern art, go to this museum - it might change your mind.

Amber Blais

I got here 10 minutes before they were closing and had to kind of rush through it but I really enjoyed what I saw. I will have to go back for a more detailed peek. The art was super fascinating and it's interesting to me that one person could fill an entire museum! Can't wait to sit and really absorb it.

Eben Pelcyger

A truly unique museum designed to exclusively feature the art of Clyfford Still in a manner that reflects the evolution of his art over time. The collection seems to rotate the art work on a quarterly (3 month) schedule so if you like it I recommend visiting a few times a year. Also I really enjoy going during the days on weekdays (M-F) because its relatively empty and your group can take their time, chat without bothering others and enjoy all the features of the building.

Chase McDowell

Amazing architecture and art work. Went in knowing nothing about Clyfford Still, came out awe inspired by his artistic prowess. Definitely worth a visit!

Tammy Wesley

We loved exploring the art on display. It was a free day to enter so there were quite a few people inside but they did a great job moving people along.

Mr. John Powers

This place inspired me to practice Kriya Yoga

Joseph Gamble

One of my best museum experiences ever. The space is a marvel of architectural design and the displays provide a thorough insight into Still's world. Love the commitment to new curation every few months. Fantastic.

Nick R.

I think it is important for people to understand this museum's collections are solely those of Clyfford Still's. For that reason, the amount of different paintings is limited compared to art museums that are not dedicated to one individual. At the same time, I really like the paintings here and recently they did their first photography exhibit which I liked too. I used to not be that much of a fan of abstract paintings but it has really grown on me thanks to this museum. I like their Music in the Galleries series. I try to attend every time I can. During the summer months they do a Summer Lawn Concert series. I have never attended those but plan to this year. They have another public program called film/Still which an art related movie is played at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on West Colfax. I have not attended that yet due to the location being so far away from where I live. I wish they would have made a deal with the Sie Film Center or Landmark Mayan Theatre to have the movies played there instead.

Nica Louie

A life changing experience. A museum that beautifully introduces the most primitive art aficionados to the progression of an artist’s lifetime work. The intimacy of this gallery makes it possible to learn about the artist and about the various media he used. As an avid lover and frequent visitor of art galleries in London, Paris, Washington DC, New York and San Francisco I can attest that you gain something from this gallery that you cannot get from any where else. I feel richer as a person because I have visited this gallery. Having said all this, enter with no expectation, put your headphones on and move ever so slowly.

Morgan T

This is a truly beautiful museum. It’s small, beautiful and while the art is incredible- the building’s architecture is even better.

Benjamin Oakes

Good museum. That said, I have a hard time appreciating artists like Pollack and Still. (It doesn't really impress or instill anything for me personally.) I wouldn't have gone here if it hadn't been free on the last Friday of the month after 5pm.

Sarah Thoreson

The Clyfford Still Museum is a must-see in Denver. The artwork is absolutely incredible and the museum itself is exceptional, both in the stunning architecture and the thoughtfulness behind how the pieces are displayed and how the history of Still's life and work is shared. There is currently an exhibit curated by Still's daughter with an accompanying podcast that is quite fantastic. Also, do take the guided tour if you're able.

Will Wright

One of the best museums in the USA.

Peter Northfelt

This is a dream museum of mine! Nine galleries upstairs and great lighting to tell the story of this artist’s development. covid regulations were by far the best here during my visit to Denver.

Bryan Larsen

I came back for a second time this trip and enjoyed the new take on things. They have so much of his work, each curation is a unique experience.

Chad Weisshaar

Great museum if you have any interest in mid 20th century American art. The main exhibit changes a couple of times a year. They also run some cool programs. My favorites are STILLness (a half hour meditation in the gallery) and One Painting at a Time (a 45 minute talk about a painting). And if you go for one of the FREE programs you can also visit the rest of the museum.

Jeremy Mirarck

Hadn't even known this was just awaiting visitors in Denver, as is often the case within a busy metropolis with more than enough to do. The building architecture is paired very well to accentuate Mr still's art. Also the depth of historical details of his life certainly warrants notice.

Jay H

Favorite museum in denver and way up there in general. The works or Clyfford Still are incredible and the architecture of the building is genius and reason alone to visit. Don’t miss if you’re visiting denver or if you’re a resident and haven’t been. Always changing his pieces so it’s never the same. Love!!!

Christine Trinidad

Such a cool little museum.

Michelle Mardegian

A must-see for any modern or abstract art enthusiast. Don't know why I didn't know about CStill before. If you're visiting Denver give yourself a sweet treat. Buy tix on line for discount. Can see and appreciate all displayed art in an hour.

Raymond Smith

When my wife and I came to this place, we were pleasantly surprised by pieces art that are represened here. You can find 9 beautiful galleries of Still’s art, some historic photos and items from the Clyfford Still archives. Would recommend visiting this place!

Dave The Heretic

If you're into abstract expressionism, this is a good place to visit. They rotate the displayed works several times during the year, so it's always fun to visit.

Penny Judson

Enjoyed the family day program with grandkids ages 7 - 11. The guides stimulated discussion through hands on activities. We spent several hours in the Create Your Own room which had a wide variety of materials.

Rick D

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, passionate, and energetic. I was surprised to find out that the Clyfford Still museum is a city of Denver museum. Parking is free at Dozens after hours. There are a handful of restaurants close to stop at before or after.

Jacob Hernandez

wonderful museum, lots of striking pieces. will be returning to see more pieces in rotation.

Mike D'Ambrosia

Very cool museum focusing on abstract art by the very talented artist. It takes an hour or less to go through which is perfect. They have various free days throughout the year as well.

Maika Lolo

Interesting work, well organized, really good public attention.

Andrea Baker

Would like more discription about techniques and medium for each piece. The layout of the overal museum is wonderful. Nice way to spend a couple hours in Denver

DJ 60 Seconds

Awesome museum! Beautiful artwork and very well done to they explained abstract art and Clyfford Still's style in a way that gave it a whole new definition

Jonathan

I have been wanting to go to this museum for years and finally got the change to check it out. The museum is set up in a great flow from his early life to the end of his works. They are repeatedly changing the works so you can visit often and see new things.

Kyle Singer

Concrete brutalism building next to the denver art museum. This museum regularly switches out exhibitions or invites other high named artist or curators to put together shows. Massive selection of abstract expressionism. Still gave up on showing art and stacked up hundreds of works of art in his barn.

Derek C

Interesting exterior design reflecting Colorado scape.

Jj Sal

Cool paintings in a cool building

Joseph Wilson

TLDR: I hated abstract art and now I love it. The exhibit is set up in a way that anyone can appreciate Clyfford Still's work. By walking you though Mr. Still's atristic journey from start to finish you're able to understand and appreciate his stylist decisions and gain appreciation for his abstract work. I always felt disconnected from modern abstract work and left feeling quite moved by his art. When I left the museum I wanted to learn more about artist like him and see more work like his. The Clyfford Still museum is a must see in my book.

Mary-Louise O'Brien

The architecture of the museum itself was a true highlight however the focus of a whole museum on just one artist was great, as it gave you a real appreciation of Clifford's development & style throughout his life.

BOK Trusty

Maybe the best single small and architecturally significant gallery I've ever been to. Go out of your way if you have to to visit this incredible facility and see Clyfford Stills art

Patrick Lucas

Great institution and collection! I love that they re-curate the galleries a few times a year. And they display so many primary source stuff!!!

Betsy O'Connor

I had been to the DAM many times, but didn’t know how incredible this museum is! Definitely worth any admission fee. Staff is kind and knowledgeable.

Josina Reaves

Gah! Beautiful art in a jewel box of a location? Yes! You can spend a meditative hour here and want to come back the next day. I never get enough.

Kaylie Kline

The building is absolutely beautiful and well designed! Loved every gallery and the set up of the paintings. Beautifully done. Will be returning often

Dmitry Konoplev

This is a museum of one artist, and his works are mostly abstractive, so be prepared. I would recommend to go to the ground floor, to the section with his personal belongings. That would provide a little bit more context on his artworks.

Kevin Poitras

Fantastic space dedicated to appreciation of the art life and times of clyfford still. Be sure to explore the recesses of architecture in addition to the paintings and drawings. Rotating works but strictly the works of still.

Phillip Bradbury

Wonderful art...very quiet & peaceful New exhibit curated by kids!

Bret Hamilton

I feel this is the best way to see his work.

Nickie McCann

What an amazing experiance. So unique. I would highly recommend the tour. It is free with admission. It was nice to see only one artist represented and to see the evolution of the art. Displays rotate so there is something new everytime.

Rich Watson

Very unusual venue devoted entirely to one artist. Clyfford Still was a major influence in Abstract Expressionism and we'll respected educator. Must see the giant canvasses to really appreciate the medium.

Anna Bishop

My favorite art museum in Denver! Expert curation in a beautiful, modern space. I always bring friends who are visiting Denver to this spot!

Kriste Goad

Love, love, love this museum. We weren’t familiar with Still before this and now are fans. Beautiful work, and worth a visit for any fan of Modern art.

MrCaelbe1

This is a cool place to visit. Even if the art isn't your thing the history and the beauty of the architecture is worth the trip. Plus if you get one of the culture passes thing it is included.

hanna beil

I found this place by accident and I am so glad I did! It had such well set up exhibits and the peices they have are exquisite. I learned so much and would recommend anyone who loves the arts to take a look.

E P

Only few steps away from Denver Art Museum, great visit!

Chris

Denver is incredibly fortunate to house the works of this master painter. Wether you're visiting, or a local, go see the work of the artist that Pollock praised as "making the rest of us look academic."

Jen Westie

I love it here because it is so well curated, BUT KEEP AN OPEN MIND if you come here. Abstract expressionism takes some work to enjoy if you are not immediately drawn to the style.

Marissa Whitworth

Attached to the Denver Art Museum but still an independent space, the layout of the exhibit starts you at the beginning of Clyfford Still’s career and shows his transition toward the end of his life.

Elizabeth Siler

Excellent curation of the work of Clyfford Still, one of the granddaddies of abstract expressionism. Make time to read the curation notes. Very informative. Will help you understand the whole exhibit.

Heather Barker

Intimate museum of large paintings. Enjoyed seeing the timeline of Still's life and evolution of style.

Aleah Menefee

The summer concert series are fun. The events start way too early for people that work a typical job. The docents were extremely rude and negatively impacted my experience.

Melody Shellman

Went on a free day! It's interesting how the work is displayed chronologically so you can clearly see how Stills work changed over time.

ben Roberts-Sano

cool to see a single artists growth over time. also the archive vaults are an architectural marvel

Philip Brookstein

Unique style, only his works, leader in post war abstract expressionism. Bold colors and line, depth. So many pieces, so, they're rotated frequently....Must see!!

Dawn Clark

Small museum but well worth the visit! We love the bold colors, huge paintings and the overall vibe of the museum.

Oscar Vital

The art work is not for all but I truly appreciated the museum

Stefan Kazmierski

Super interesting exhibition of a single artist. It's a must see for fans of abstract/ impressionism works.

David Valleau

Great museum! Would recommend it to anyone

Devin Johnson

It’s like the Rothko chapel for Colorado. Beautiful architecture meets beautiful paintings. You can lose yourself and feel completely enveloped by Still’s works.

Amelia Atencio

The most beautiful museum in Colorado. Still never ceases to awe, however, the wall decals are distracting and almost viewed more than the actual work present.

Dr. Golam Hasnaine

i don’t like it much because i can’t understand art 😂 …

Natalie Berg

This is a fairly new museum and I thought it was worth the $10.00 admission price - great works of art from this man dating all the way back to the 1930's - great place to spend an afternoon with a date & grab a bite to eat afterwards!

R BU

The show I saw was all works on paper, it was great. Definitely coming back for shows by guest curators this Spring. Great architecture!

Carla Rupp

Must-see. Unique museum. We loved it. Fun for the whole family. The art is amazing. What a special place!

Chris Dale

The way they demonstrated Still's movement from real life forms to abstract was excellent. Also, his incorporation of human form into his works was extremely interesting.

Brenda Ortiz

Such a calm and relaxing museum. Beautiful art and the employees are very nice. I will definitely be returning.

Molly Swarbrick

The Clifford still museum is a wonderful place that showcases the life and work of an amazing artist. Very glad I got to enjoy it!

Elsa Henderson

My favorite art museum. A must-see, but little-known gem for the true, serious art connoisseur, especially if you are open to abstract expressionism.

Janae

Loved this smaller museum, and the tour they had was really helpful. $5 Fridays are such a good deal too!

kokovox D

Great museum! I love all the natural light and the overall architecture. I went for a concert in the museum and it was lovely.

kenneth subala

The building is very unique, I never even knew this building existed. It's overshadowed by the Denver Art Museum, literally.

laurie taggart

Free Friday! Yay!! Very interesting artist-you could see his progression from early to late-reality to abstract.

Cris Lira

This place is a must visit when in Denver. The museum is beautiful and it is a great opportunity to appreciate the work of Clyfford Still.

Nathan Howe

The drawing room on the top floor is excellent for kids and teens. An impressive and well-planned space. Good staff.

William Watson

OK, familiarize yourself with the artist and his style before coming. Was disappointed personally, but others may appreciate his art more than I.

Don Crews

Enjoyed the work and story of an original...

Marlene Lyon

Great experience. Works cover his entire life in chronological order. Lots of information about the artist and abstract expressionism.

Holly Bees

Very nice

Evan Trimble

Wow! Amazing to see Still’s transformation over time. Worth a trip to Denver to see this gallery if you love art.

Haley Hagle

A bucket list item checked off my list. Perfectly curated work with an inside view into the mind of the artist.

LouieL

It was free, pretty good experience for free but if I had to pay for the experience it would be a sold 3.8 stars.

Jean-Baptiste Brière

Very interesting, although the proposal of constantly comparing the painting with other masterpieces reduces the contemplation pleasure.

Jeannie Sloan

Stunning space and collection. Denver's very lucky to have this collection of some of the finest early modern art around.

Tarasa's World

Very cool place to visit

Paul Roach

Large and rare collection of Clyfford Still works and memorabilia. Contemporary and adventurous building design.

Marc Aurèle

(Translation) Living in France, I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to go to Denver, but I visited the site of the Clyfford Still Museum which is exemplary: clarity of the layout, and an "immersive" approach to the works. remarkable, allowing to examine the detail of the pictorial paste. This place is also remarkable for its architecture. Still, a major artist of abstract expressionism in the United States deserved to be given such a place. Thank you for this quality welcome on your site. (Original) Vivant en France , je n'ai malheureusement pas eu l'occasion de me rendre à Denver , mais j'ai visité le site du Clyfford Still Museum qui est exemplaire : clarté de la mise en page , et une approche " immersive" des oeuvres remarquable , permettant d'examiner le détail de la pate picturale . Cet endroit est remarquable également par son architecture .Still , artiste majeur de l'expressionnisme abstrait aux États-Unis méritait qu'on lui consacre un tel lieu. Merci pour cet accueil de qualité sur votre site.

Ary van Baalen

(Translation) Nice museum. It is a pity that there is hardly any museum connection with other American abstract impressionists, but it is definitely worth a visit. (Original) Mooi museum. Jammer dat er nauwelijks museale verbinding is met andere Amerikaanse abstract impressionisten.Toch zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken.

Raquel Perez

(Translation) Very clean, good attention for art connoisseurs. (Original) Muy limpio buena atención para conocedores del arte.
