The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver was established in 1996, initially housed in a renovated fish market. However, it moved to its current spacious facility on Delgany Street in 2007. The building was designed to promote creative experimentation with art and ideas by minimizing the boundaries between the city outside and the galleries inside. The exhibit spaces feature hidden skylights that allow natural light, while the museum's windows provide a glimpse of Denver's streetscape. Visitors to the museum can explore a diverse range of regional, national, and international art exhibitions that rotate in and out of the museum. These exhibitions usually stay for two to four months, as no permanent collection exists. The museum also hosts numerous events throughout the year, including a summer rooftop concert series on Thursday evenings. Visitors can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a glass of wine at the museum's cafe and bar and shop for unique items from around the world in the compact museum shop.
