A major survey of Colorado & regional art is displayed, concerned with a period from 1820 to about 1990 (traditional through modern), with an emphasis on the 1840s onwards. The Museum features a retrospective of Colorado’s distinguished painter, Vance Kirkland (1904–1981). Kirkland Museum joins the studios of Jackson Pollock & Lee Krasner, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Charles Russell, N.C.
