Denver Art Museum

The Denver Art Museum offers free admission on the first Saturday of each month, so David and I took advantage of this opportunity over the weekend. We started our day at the Jelly Café in the Capitol Hill District. It was a small corner restaurant decorated with retro cereal boxes hanging on the walls. The food was good and their homemade jelly was a perfect topping on their donuts.

The museum is hard to miss. Its unusual architecture is a piece of art in itself; walking up you immediately see the sharp angles jutting out across the surrounding streets. Inside featured several galleries including its well-known American Indian art collection. We really enjoyed the photography and landscape paintings, reminiscing about the places we have been before and scheming about the places we will go. It was kind of bizarre walking through the Graphic Design Gallery with David pointing out the people he knows and have met throughout his career. We ended our visit by walking around the Civic Center Park, admiring Denver’s state capitol and city buildings.
