About Us
Designed specifically to display Clyfford Still’s art, the award-winning Clyfford Still Museum is home to nearly everything he created, approximately 3,125 pieces representing 93% of his lifetime of work. Clyfford Still (1904–1980) was among the first generation of Abstract Expressionist artists and he redefined American painting. The Museum supports new artistic endeavors, inviting visitors to draw strength from Still’s art and life. At the Still, visitors will find a world-class collection gifted to the City and County of Denver, award-winning architecture, cross-disciplinary programs for all ages, and opportunities to explore their own creativity.
Located in the heart of Denver’s vibrant Golden Triangle Creative District, the two-story, 28,500-square-foot building and outdoor forecourt are gathering places for our community. The Still offers nine beautiful galleries of Still’s art, historic photos, objects and letters from the Clyfford Still Archives, interactive features, tranquil outdoor terraces, views into storage and conservation areas, a hands-on art creation studio, shopping, exciting programs and events, and more. Explore more about the Museum’s history, architecture, the collection, exhibitions, and events.
As stewards of a collection that belongs to our community, we create opportunities for visitors to connect in many different ways. You are free to experience and understand the art on your own terms — there are no wrong answers. Exhibitions stimulate curiosity, arouse emotions, and explore multiple perspectives. We invite you to refresh, recharge, and reconnect with joy at the Still.
