Visit a Contemporary Landmark in Aspen, CO
For more than thirty-five years, the Aspen Art Museum fostered creativity, dialogue, and education from its original location on North Mill Street, steadily building its reputation as both a cultural hub for Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley and a respected voice in the global contemporary art world. In 2014, the museum was relocated to downtown Aspen, with award-winning architect Shigeru Ban selected to design a new facility. The striking 33,000-square-foot building features 17,500 square feet of exhibition space, a woven wood screen exterior, mirrored grand staircases, and a rooftop café with stunning mountain views.
Shigeru Ban is a celebrated architect who won the Pritzker Prize in 2014, known for his innovative designs like the Centre Pompidou-Metz and temporary disaster shelters. The museum is his first permanent U.S. museum project and was recognized by the American Institute of Architects in 2017 as one of the best examples of contemporary architecture.
