Hands down the best museum Ive been to in my entire life- and Im 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 Stills well-documented spiritual experience.

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).

I love this place so much it gives me hope

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

This museum showcases the majority of Stills 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.

Very nice art history museum in the center of downtown

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

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.

Well organized. The art along with the architecture is stunning

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

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

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

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 Stills vast and eclectic collection of original works.The exhibit begins with the artists 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 Stills public works beginning when he received an award for his first creations after high school, all the way to his death, organized around Stills various periods.The exhibit chronicles Stills 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.

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

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

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.

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

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!!!

Frankly, it was a little boaring

Beautiful museum. A must see when visiting Denver.

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 youre interested in art, its worth traveling a long way to visit Denver.

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!

Intimate museum of large paintings. Enjoyed seeing the timeline of Stills life and evolution of style.

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

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.

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

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.

Experiencing an artists 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.

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

Cool and unique museum. Its 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.

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.

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!

Well-curated and constantly rotating out Stills art, even the museum itself is a beautiful work of art in-itself. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the place isnt 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 youre in Denver this is a must.

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 Stills art and outside connections to other related artists. Thanks for a lovely evening!

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.

Lovely, compact art museum. Well worth a visit.

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

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

I had never visited the Clyfford Still Museum before, and I wasnt 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.

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

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.

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.

One of the best museums Ive ever been to. Stills art, is displayed beautifully and the museum has 95% of his work which rotates regularly. In addition, you learn not only about Stills 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!

A most complete collection of a single artist work Ive ever seen. Just amazing.

Great museum, plenty of art to look at.

Always worth a visit. Recent exhibit was well curated.

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

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

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

I was a security guard at the museum. The security is outsourced by Advantage security. I was fired because of the rants of my supervisor. Other management had told me of her lack of qualifications. She tried to have me fired twice. I am an older man and this has her worried about her job. She has treated me like an enimy. I like her. She is aligned with the ceo of advantage security and the have proven that they will fire an employee rather than deal with the issue. My issue was concern for my safety. Her response was that she was too busy. I was monitoring the security cameras at the time and with less than 10 guests on the floor all she did was stand around and look at the art. Not to busy to address one of the employees legitimate concerns. She has been backed up by advantage security no matter what the honest facts are. The Clifford still museum management gave this no credence. I had nothing but great reviews from both staff and guests. I am now out of a job because of a third grater. This is not right. Please respond. If this means we have to go to court to resolve this than so be it. I would rather not. My termination was uncalled for. I am a human and deserve a fair shake. Shame on you. Please be honest about this. I have yet to hear back from the Clifford still security directer, Tony DeSantis as well as Natalie Kolwalk the security supervisor from Advantage Security. Yet to hear from you on line or in private. As stated Natalie is probably too busy. Please reply. I deserve that much.

Not all of it was quite my style of art, but a very nice building. Im sure others can appreciate all of his art more than I do. Im 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.

If youre into abstract expressionism, this is a good place to visit. They rotate the displayed works several times during the year, so its always fun to visit.

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

Art should make you feel something.............It feels like the great depression.-The Hungry Philosopher

One of the best museums I have ever been to. The concept is fairly unique: virtually all of an influential artists 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.

The Clyfford Still Museum is an amazing concept that showcases an amazing artists lifes work. The really cool thing is that while there are definitely some key pieces of Stills 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 theres 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 Stills work. Kenda was my tour guide, and she did an amazing job of explaining Buergerts curation and encouraging us to explore our own connections and feelings about the exhibit. If you can sign up for one of Kendas tours I highly recommend doing so, youll leave feeling incredibly informed and inspired by Stills work!

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

The best artist youve 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. Im uploading the little painting I made while I was there. Lots of fun.

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

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!

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

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 childrens 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.

I really appreciate the Clyfford Still museum - Ive 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 Stills 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.

Wonderful art...very quiet & peaceful

Interesting work, well organized, really good public attention.

Amazing museum in Denver. It’s a must if your stopping in town.

Interesting exterior design reflecting Colorado scape.

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

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

Such a cool little museum.

One of the best museums in the USA.

Very cool place to visit

Beautiful museum very relaxing..

Enjoyed the work and story of an original...

Beautiful abstract works by one of the originals.

A joyous day

The work of a brilliant artist housed an a stunning building. Still evolved so much as an artist and was so prolific, multiple visits over time are required. Surprisingly easy to find parking nearby … even on the street.

An UNBELIEVABLE museum!!! Must go!

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

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 artThe 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.

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

Really enjoyed the art... read about the art as much as the artists 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 youre flexible with your schedule and want to save.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great museum! Would recommend it to anyone

I Accidentally purchase tickets to this museum (Which is located in Colorado) while I was in a busy crowd at the City Museum in St. Louis. I simply typed in City Museum into a google search and somehow this was the first one that came up in my google search. In a rush to avoid the long line at City museum and use the much faster Online tickets line, I quickly purchased my tickets and proceeded to check in at the City Museum. I was baffled when they told me that the tickets were not for their museum. I quickly went to the website they provided and got the right tickets. I thought nothing of it thinking I will request a refund later for this simple mistake however it wasnt that simple. I sent an email to customer service requesting a refund for the true mistake I had made and thought I would be greeted with friendly, helpful Customer Service people. Nope! Not the case, they quickly pointed out that the tickets said Non refundable when I purchased them. However if I didnt even notice that I was purchasing tickets to the wrong museum SEVERAL STATES AWAY, then I can assume you the fine print was not on my radar to check. Oh well, Chalk it up to experience. Enjoy my $20 donation I guess, Since I wont be seeing that again. I just wish we had real people in this world that understood real situations and that a Mistake was made.

Great art work

I’m not usually an art person. But this museum tells and shows you as much about the artist, who was a fascinating person, as much as his art, which I actually found beautiful and engaging. Very open building and lots of explanation of what you are seeing. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and if you have any interest in art at all, this should be a must see in Denver. It’s a miracle that this museum is here at all!

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

Okay, so I do not like most art.... this place took my breath away. Clyfford Still is a dark artist, whos 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 Londons 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

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.

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.

Very nice

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

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. Im 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.

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 its interesting to me that one person could fill an entire museum! Cant wait to sit and really absorb it.

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.

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