1. Denver Art Museum

DOWNTOWN.   Denver Art Museum is highly regarded for its collection of Native American art, which includes over 16,000 pieces from more than 100 tribes across the US. The seven-story contemporary building also houses impressive displays of Pre-Columbian and Central American art and textiles, a fascinating Asian collection, and a fine assortment of modern American and European paintings. The Architecture, Design and Graphics galleries are notable as well. In 2006, the Frederic C. Hamilton Building, a craggy structure of steel and glass designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, opened its doors across 13th Street from the original building. The building dramatically increases the museum's gallery and education space while redefining the Denver skyline.   (© 10Best)

I used to like visiting the collection, and went back for the first time since the new Libeskind Wing opened. That was a mistake. The new museum is twice as big, but ten times as ugly. The new triangular interiors are so confusing I found myself rushing for the exit door, no coffee, no gift shop, I just had to get somewhere there was daylight and fresh air. How does the museum expect to display the collection in such a bizarre and disorienting space?
