Dikeou Collection — Attraction in Denver

I've been in this area of 16th street a bajillion times, but never knew the Dikeou Collection was hiding upstairs in that random building around the corner. Thanks, Yelp, for the find! Soo, this place is very random. No signs outside or really any way of knowing about it other than word of mouth or in my case, Yelp. Admission is absolutely free! So there's really no reason not to pop in for a visit. If you're like me and absolutely clueless about art, especially modern art, you'll probably leave thinking, "wellll, okay then." A lot of it is downright weird. Some things are creepy/scary. You'll know what I'm talking about when you visit, haha. There is also a free audio tour (you call a number posted at the entryway table and follow the voice recording to each exhibit). Dikeou is a nice place to visit if you're just looking for something random to do in the area, want to kill time, or avoid the rain/snow/cold. There are some pretty interesting photo ops in the space and it's cool that they do offer the audio tour if you're interested in learning more about the art. Big thanks to the donor who bought all the pieces in display! This is a neat, eclectic addition to Denver and I hope it sticks around for more...

This place is a sparse yet interesting contemporary art museum on the 5th floor of the old Colorado Building. Located on the 16th street mall, this free museum has unique installations that are both functional and interactive. The fifth floor is broken up into rooms and each art installation has its own room, sometimes its not known if what is in the room is the actual piece of art, as in the room that just has an old answering machine from the 80's sitting on the floor in the corner with a blinking light, but in many other rooms the art pieces are very big. When going be sure to check out both halves of the museum since the curators office is...

Where do I even begin?! It’s like a mini meow wolf. It’s interactive except for some of the pieces, kids would adore it!, and freeeee! Be sure to donate to your art exhibitions. It’s a Denver hidden gem from local artist Devon Dikeou.

To enter park near on street or garage, enter through 1615, go to the 5th floor and the whole floor is the exhibit. I had the complete exhibit to myself on a Friday at 11, by appointment. I was late and they didn’t seem to mind. It took me about two hours. Make sure to take the stairs and look for the mail slot that was super magical....
