Today Adam and I enjoyed an amazing lunch at Stuebens in Uptown before venturing down to the art museum.
First of all, Stuebens is delicious. We got a perfect table on the front patio and enjoyed our peaceful Sunday afternoon. Adam started off with a Bloody Mary, which I found to be quite enjoyable, not being a Bloody Mary fan. I started off with a Gin Fizz, which consisted of two whipped egg whites, orange bitters and gin. What a surprise. Lunch was greasy and filling! Probably not the best choice after a hard workout this morning and planning to walk around the museum after, but we definitely enjoyed the outing!
The art museum is well worth the visit for all Denverites or any visitor. The modern architecture and clean cut walls of the building are a site to be seen. The structure of the building and sculptures surrounding the building allow your eyes to wander from one piece of artwork to the next.
The art museum is divided into two buildings and is connected by a sky-walk. The first building(The Hamilton Building) and then the North Building. The Hamilton building consists of more modern art. Adam and I tend to enjoy modern art, but some pieces are a little too out there for us. We stumbled upon a suitcase in one corner with a talking head. We couldn't help but burst into laughter. The north building has seven different floors. Each floor has a different cultural collection.
The museum was very easy to maneuver, and can be done in a couple hours or you could spend half a day there and do lunch in the sky-walk area.
I think we would both love to go back when they have the van Gogh exhibit later this year.
