…and the kids were scolded only once by a guard

We spent most of my birthday at the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building, dedicated to modern art.

Modern art is provocative, whimsical, and often challenging. Many body parts usually covered in white cotton Hanes were on display. Reactions were elicited, explanations were offered. A big pink foot? Pretty tame.

We barely scratched the surface of the DAM’s numerous galleries.

The beauty of modern art? Everyone thinks they could do it, if only they had a big grant from the NEA and 62 yards of violet velvet.

We ate my birthday lunch at Mad Greens. My sandwich was named after Fidel Castro. Beatrix loved the chairs.

The horse on the big red chair is one of those inexplicable Denver landmarks.

After eating, we visited the museum’s original building which houses pre-1950s art, spending most of the time on the sixth floor. The view was appreciated.

We ended our day viewing artifacts in the Spanish Colonial galleries. Treasures, everywhere.
