Steer clear. New Museum is a big flop.. This review is for the new Hamilton Wing which we visited last weekend. - As a New Yorker used to the fine spaces at MoMa and at the Met Museum, I was curious to see the new architecture at the DAM. The galleries are disorienting, disquieting, headache-inducing spaces. What an awful concept for a Museum. I keep asking myself how did this thing get built? Who authorized such a sad monumental waste of time, money and energy. Its like a bad gimmick. I felt I should get my money back. View Less …
Disappointing Galleries in New Hamilton Wing. On Sunday I went to the new Hamilton Wing. It is disappointing. The place is just confusing. And what's with the angled walls? This is supposed to be a place where art is displayed respectfully. I felt like I was in a theme park of some sort. I won't be going there again! View Less …
Lame Architecture and Mediocre Exhibitions. I came mainsly to see the "cutting edge" architecture. Of the three buildings, two are poor, and the new one, Hamilton Wing is downright ugly. and that one is already falling apart inside - looks like it is made of white cardboard. The Indian art is interesting, The contemporary art in the new building is as pretentious as the architecture. This is what happents when a museum tries to hard to impress - when they fail, they fail spectacularly. - My advice, - come to Denver for the skiing, but go to New York or Chicago for art and architecture.

Looks like a toolshed, but is much less useful.. I went to the new Libeskind Wing last weekend. It looks like a toolshed, feels like being in an underground gas station and doesn't seem to be able to accomodate artwork in a convincing way. No-one will convince me that this is challenging new architecture. This building is one big embarrassing mistake. I'm sorry I wasted my time visiting this so-called icon, but I'm glad it wasn't built in my town. View Less …
Over-Hyped Museum Under-performs. I found the new Hamilton Wing to be a big letdown. The galleries are drably lit and confusing. The crazy room shapes don't help the artwork and it is hard to settle on anything long enough to appreciate it. I hope the museum finds some place better to display their collection. Until they do, I won't be spending any more of my money visiting the place. View Less …
