Clyfford Still Museum 39.736282° N -104.989784° W

Description

The Clyfford Still Museum allows visitors the unique experience to explore the legacy of Clyfford Still, an artist whose life has been shrouded in mystery and the bulk of whose work has been hidden from public view for more than 30 years.

inStill Gallery Experiences for Schools, our primary school program, turns the galleries into a classroom for grades 4-12. During inStill students do the looking, talking, writing, and thinking to explore Still's art and develop and defend their interpretations. All inStill lessons are inquiry-based, interactive, and standards-aligned.

The Museum has restrooms on the first floor. When groups enter through the school group entrance, the restrooms are to the left down a hallway.
