The works collected at the American Museum of Western Art, also known as the Anschutz Collection after Denver businessman Philip Anschutz, range from Albert Bierstadt’s 1870 painting of “Wind River, Wyoming” to Edward Hopper’s “Mount Moran,” painted in the late 1940s. Charles Marion Russell and Frederic Remington are represented, and so are Georgia O’Keefe and Maxfield Parrish. And that’s just scratching the surface. Each of the museum’s three floors features walls full of works in a salon-style display. There’s also an actual salon outfitted in period furniture, and more art facing Tremont Place in Denver.
