American Museum of Western Art

It is the mission of the American Museum of Western Art to promote the public’s understanding and appreciation of art depicting the American West from the early 1800s through the present day. The art presented is intended to give the public a better understanding and appreciation of the character, history, and beauty of the American West and the peoples, individuals, and ideas that transformed it over time.

The Anschutz Collection is made up of over 600 paintings, drawings, and sculptures representing more than 180 artists. The Collection is on permanent display at the American Museum of Western Art, a Denver art museum, and represents a survey of the American West from the early 19th century to present day.
