The DIA has recently been renovated and it is beautiful. I can't even put into words, you just have to go see for yourself. There is also a Film Theater that has amazing art films! First Class!!

This is a wonderful place to enjoy many interesting exhibits. Check ahead of time for hours of operation. I have been there many time to view exhibits or to take part in programs going on at the museum. During the summer, they have a jazz series that is very good. They also have very good art workshops for children.
