Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, Fine arts and decorative art museum in Denver, United States
Kirkland Museum houses thousands of works spanning American decorative arts and craftsmanship from the 1800s to today. The collection ranges from furniture and ceramics to textiles and graphic design across multiple eras.
The original artist studio built in 1911 for painter Vance Kirkland was physically moved and preserved within the new building completed in 2018. This relocation maintained the historical workspace while allowing the institution to expand its mission.
The collection features regional Colorado artists displayed alongside international decorative art movements and styles. Local creators share space with works from broader artistic traditions that shaped the region.
The museum is open several days per week across mid-week and weekend hours, giving visitors options for timing their visit. Combined tickets can provide access to multiple areas, making planning easier.
The museum displays artworks in salon style, combining fine and decorative art in shared spaces rather than keeping them separate. This arrangement creates unexpected connections between different artistic categories.
