Museum of Contemporary Art Denver

The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver was founded in 1996 as the first institution in the city dedicated solely to contemporary art. For its first seven years, it operated out of a renovated fish market in Sakura Square in lower downtown Denver. As a museum focused on contemporary art, it provides a space for visitors to experience innovative works by living artists. The museum's history as a converted fish market adds a unique character to its mission of bringing modern art to the community.
