Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art

Golden Triangle · Denver, Colorado

The Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art is one of the most distinctive art museums in the United States, presenting a world-class collection of international Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Deco, Bauhaus, and mid-century decorative art alongside the paintings of Colorado modernist Vance Kirkland. The decorative art collection — encompassing furniture, ceramics, glass, metalwork, and textiles from virtually every major design movement of the period 1875–1990 — provides a comprehensive survey of modern design extraordinary for its size and depth. The purpose-built museum in Denver's Golden Triangle neighborhood provides an ideal setting for the layered visual experience Kirkland intended.
