DENVER — The Denver Art Museum has been selected as one of the world’s best museums, in league with Antwerp, Belgium’s Momu and architectural wonders such as Oslo’s Munch Museum and Tokyo’s Murakami Library.
The honor, doled out in a list from Condé Nast Traveler this month, was part of the magazine’s Best New Museums in the World: 2022 Hot List. While the Denver Art Museum has been around in some form since 1893, Condé Nast looked at the museum’s nearly five-year, $175 million renovation-addition project that was recently completed and decided it was enough to justify the “new museum” moniker.
The magazine noted that the museum reopened in late 2021 with new, interconnected galleries, pavilions and a restaurant.
