The Kirkland Museum holds more than 20,000 examples of mid-20th century modern decorative art pieces (ceramics, furniture, etc.) and has about 3,000 pieces on display in the museum. We were overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of their collection.

There was a special exhibit at the Kirkland Museum featuring works by the 'Colorado 15'. These were 15 Colorado artists who broke away from the Denver Artists Guild so they could pursue modern, non-representational art that was still, even in the mid-20th century in Denver, frowned upon by the Guild. Vance Kirkland was a member of the Colorado 15.

We enjoyed this comment about Kirkland by Dr. Richard Brettell who was the lecturer for the Impressionist Art DVDs from the Teaching Company that we watched prior to our France trip in 2009.
