After undergoing a $175 million renovation/addition project, the Denver Art Museum was named to Condé Nast Traveler’s “Best New Museums in the World: 2022 Hot List.” Esteemed architecture also makes Denver stand out as a destination with locations like Union Station, which was ranked No. 9 by Time Out’s list of "The 21 Most Beautiful Train Stations in the U.S." in April 2023.
