Architecture of MCA Denver: The Fries Building

About This Event

Explore the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver’s glass-clad Fries Building in downtown Denver, designed by architect Sir David Adjaye OBE of Adjaye Associates (UK). Experience how the building, Adjaye’s first U.S. museum commission, was designed to minimize boundaries between the exterior spaces of the city and the interior of the museum. Throughout the tour in June, view works from MCA Denver’s newest exhibitions Bethany Collins: The Deluge, Ana María Hernando: Seguir cantando (Keep Singing), and Sammy Seung-min Lee: Becoming Motherland. In August, the exhibition Colorado Currents brings together recent artworks by twenty-eight artists with ties to Colorado, in the spirit of exploring how Colorado is experienced today.
