The Denver Art Museum (DAM) will reopen its expanded and reimagined campus to the public with a free general admission day on October 24, 2021, unveiling all eight levels of its iconic Gio Ponti-designed Lanny and Sharon Martin Building (formerly referred to as the North Building), which originally opened to the public 50 years ago, and the new Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center. The campus reopening coincides with the Martin Building’s 50th anniversary.
