With such an impressive impressionist collection, I don’t feel bad about making yet another art museum post. Honestly, it can’t be helped. And is anyone surprised I’m doing one post on the impressionists, and one post on “everything else?” Go ahead and judge me, I don’t care.
The Denver Art Museum (in Denver, Colorado, naturally) can be traced back all the way to 1893 with the founding of the Denver Artists Club. It has grown, relocated, and changed names many times over the years. Thanks to bequests of paintings and funds over the years, it today has nine curatorial departments, and occupies several floors in two buildings.
And now, enjoy a truly world-class selection of impressionists on display in the Mile High City.

I always like to take a moment to look a a Monet up close, as it looks like chaos compared to a pulled-back view. The Seine near Giverney, Claude Monet, 1885.
