So, You Wanna Be an Arty Farty at the Denver Art Museum, Eh? But How Much Will it Cost?
Let's face it, folks, Denver's got a lot going for it: mountains that tickle the sky, craft beer that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance, and enough dispensaries to fulfill all your, ahem, artistic inclinations. But what if you're feeling a bit more highbrow and want to commune with the masters like Van Gogh (minus the ear-chopping incident, hopefully)? Then the Denver Art Museum (DAM for short, because who wants to say "museum" all day?) is calling your name.
But before you dust off your beret and practice your most intellectual museum pose, there's a burning question: how much does this artistic adventure cost?
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
How Much Does It Cost To Get Into The Denver Art Museum |
Fear Not, Frugal Art Fanatics!
The good news is, the DAM isn't trying to break the bank. General admission for adults is a cool $18 for Colorado residents and a smidge more at $22 for non-residents. Think of it as an investment in cultured conversation starters at your next dinner party.

Hey There, Silver Foxes and Scholars!
Now, if you're a senior citizen (65 and over), a student with a valid ID, or a teacher (because we all appreciate the educators!), you get a sweet discounted rate of $15 for Coloradoans and $19 for everyone else.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Free Art for Free Spirits!
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
And here's the best part, art lovers of all ages: the DAM is all about nurturing the next generation of Picassos and Pollocks. Every single day, admission is free for all visitors 18 and under. That's right, teenagers, unleash your inner artiste without blowing your allowance on a museum ticket!
Okay, Okay, Enough with the Breakdowns, How Much is THAT Fancy New Exhibit?
Ah, yes, the ever-changing world of special exhibits. These can sometimes come with an additional fee on top of general admission, but hey, it's a chance to see something truly unique! Check the DAM's website for current exhibitions and their respective costs.
But wait, there's more! The Denver Art Museum offers a free general admission day every first Saturday of the month from 10 am to 5 pm. So grab your friends, pack a picnic lunch (because, let's be honest, museum cafes can be pricey), and get your culture fix for free!
How to FAQs for the Savvy Museum-Goer:
- How to score a discount? Easy! Flash your Colorado ID, student ID, or teacher ID at the ticket booth. Seniors over 65 get a discount too, no ID needed (just the wisdom that comes with age).
- How to get in free? Are you 18 or under? High five! You get free general admission every day. The DAM also offers free admission for everyone on the first Saturday of the month.
- How to find out about special exhibit fees? The DAM's website is your best friend. Check the "Exhibitions" section for current exhibits and any associated costs.
- How to avoid crowds? General admission tends to be busiest in the afternoons. Head to the museum earlier in the day for a more relaxed experience.
- How to make the most of your visit? Pick up a free map at the entrance and plan your route based on your interests. The DAM also offers free audio tours for a deeper dive into the collections.
