During your visit, learn about a renegade artist who redefined American painting. Clyfford Still (1904–1980) kept most of his artworks in the hopes that one day they would be housed, studied, and displayed together in one place. He entrusted his life’s work to an unnamed American city; Still wasn’t from Denver, but our community received this extraordinary gift. Designed specifically to display Still’s work, the Museum is home to approximately 3,125 works, representing more than 93% of his lifetime output.
At the Still, you are free to experience and understand the art on your own terms — there are no wrong answers. Explore nine beautiful galleries of Still’s art and learn more about the artist’s legacy. Glimpse behind the scenes into painting conservation areas; make your own creation in our hands-on art studio for all ages; attend entertaining and fascinating events; take a tour; relax on tranquil outdoor terraces; shop for thoughtfully curated items; and learn more about the groundbreaking artist. We encourage visitors to buy tickets online before they visit. Online ticket purchasers receive a 50% discount on nearby parking (details below).
The Museum is a gathering place for our community and supports new artistic endeavors, inviting visitors to draw strength from Still’s art and life; but we are about more than just one man. Enjoy he art through the lens of your own experiences—there are no wrong answers. Our exhibitions stimulate curiosity, arouse emotions, and engage with multiple perspectives. Exhibitions rotate several times each year. How long should you plan for your visit? On average, most visitors take around an hour to explore the Museum, but you are welcome to take longer to enjoy Still’s immersive artworks.
