Opened to the public on November 18,  2011, the Still Museum is dedicated to the work of Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still, who ordered his estate sealed upon his death in 1980, with the stipulation that it be donated to an American city that would pledge to establish a permanent museum for Still’s body of work. Denver wound up the winner of the sweepstakes in 2004, and the burly, concrete Still Museum is the result. In keeping with Still’s wishes, the museum will have no cafe or auditorium, nor will it loan any of its collection.
