The Museo de las Americas serves as the hub of Denver’s Latin American culture and arts scene. Located in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain Region, this fine arts museum offers year-round exhibits and programs exemplifying Latin American culture from ancient through contemporary times.

Founded in 1992, it began as nothing more than a small office. By 1994, it’s popularity had increased so much the 12,000 square foot building it now resides in was purchased in the heart of Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District. Every visit offers fresh, unique perspectives on the ideas, beliefs, and innovations that define this culture.

Exhibits

Permanent and rotating exhibits offer visitors a greater understanding of and appreciation for Latin American culture. See ancient artifacts up close, discover new forms of musical instruments, and immerse yourself in the diversity of the Americas.

  • Pre-Columbian Art And Artifacts
  • Folk Art
  • Contemporary Latino Art
  • Avant Garde International Pieces
  • Regional Artists Of Import
  • Ceramics And Textiles

Rotating exhibits feature traveling collections of art, artifacts, and interactive pieces that explore the identity and culture of Latin Americans over time and across cultures. Past exhibits include a mock immigration detention center, Aztec depictions of the cosmos, and religious symbols from the past and present. Search through ancient manuscripts, watch narrated videos, and explore this important part of American culture.
