Aspen Art Museum
Aspen Core · Aspen, Colorado
The Aspen Art Museum is one of the most distinctive non-collecting contemporary art museums in the United States, occupying a stunning building designed by Shigeru Ban that opened in 2014. Ban's signature woven basket exterior and rooftop restaurant have made the building as talked-about as the art inside, which draws from the international contemporary scene for a program of ambitious rotating exhibitions. Free admission ensures that the museum functions as a genuine civic institution in a town defined by economic extremes, and its location at the center of Aspen's pedestrian core makes it both unavoidable and unforgettable.
