Side yard, actually. It's a block north.
My favorite restaurant is closed inside the Denver Art Museum; a lovely place to enjoy a fine meal and watch the art-going people pass by. Mostly young people and it does your heart good to see them.
Would you like to see what I'm talking about? This is the parade of people who pass by through an hour or so.
And now that restaurant is ripped out and a new visitor center is put in. To the tune of ...
twelve mill-yun dollars.
To be patronized by silhouette-people.
More deets at 303 magazine and Design Boom.

That North building is HUGE. Does the museum really have a collection large enough to fill that space?
When I was a kid, even a teenager, the Metropolitan Museum in NY was free. And mainly empty. The few who went were art nuts (like me) and we had a huge quiet place to...to what? To dream in. Now all is busyness and noise. Well, if not actual noise the noise of herds constantly passing through and disrupting the stillness. What's the use of complaining? It's changed and that's that.
Also, if I remember correctly there was no restaurant, not even a cafeteria back then. Now there's something only the upper-middle class can afford. No peasants need apply.
