The Denver Art Museum has two main buildings. Studio Daniel Libeskind designed the Hamilton Building, and Gio Ponti designed the North (Martin) Building, with James Sudler Associates. Machado Silvetti and Fentress Architects handled a renovation. The client is a nonprofit separate from the City of Denver. The Hamilton Building opened on October 7, 2006 and the North Building in 1971. The infobox gives no construction dates.

The article calls the Hamilton angular and sharply faceted, and Ponti's building modernist with a castle-like facade. Hamilton is glass and titanium over steel and has four stories and 146,000 square feet. The North Building is covered in over one million reflective glass tiles and has seven stories and 210,000 square feet.

A 150 million dollar renovation began in 2018, and the Sie Welcome Center opened in October 2021. The article gives no hours.
