DENVER, COLORADO.- Just as spring bulbs start to bloom, the Denver Art Museum will celebrate the season with a landmark exhibition of Dutch master works that includes an exceedingly rare opportunity to see a Johannes Vermeer painting - one of only 36 attributed to the artist. Art & Home: Dutch Interiors in the Age of Rembrandt, on view from March 2 through May 26, 2002, includes some 50 paintings by artists including Rembrandt, Jan Steen and Pieter de Hooch, paired with 70 domestic treasures from prosperous 17th century Dutch homes. Art & Home closely follows the Museum's February 23 opening of US Design 1975-2000, a precedent-setting, national exhibition that provides the first comprehensive look at the United States' achievements in architecture, graphics, and decorative and industrial design from the last 25 years.
With spring also comes Spring Break, and that means Great Games Week at the Museum. From March 23 through March 31, the Museum will become a haven for fun with exciting activities on every floor. Visitors can play their favorite games including memory match, what's wrong with this picture, tic-tac-toe, eye spy, crack the code, and rhyming riddles with a unique art twist. The Just for Fun center and Family Backpacks will also be available all week.
