The Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art is an art museum in Denver, Colorado. Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art has three principal collections, all housed in the museum which incorporates the original 1911 Arts & Crafts studio of Vance Kirkland—the oldest commercial art building in Denver and a National Trust Associate Site:
