Named 2023 Top of the Town Editors’ Choice for “Best Place to See Art” by 5280 Magazine
The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) was founded in 1981 by commercial real estate developer, John W. Madden Jr., his wife, Marjorie P. Madden, and their daughter, Cynthia Madden Leitner. MOA is a forerunner in the placement of site-specific sculpture in Colorado. Our art collection is located within various public locations throughout the Denver metro area. From commercial office parks to botanic gardens, city parks and traditional sculpture gardens; art is placed to interpret space as “a museum without walls.” Foremost, MOA believes in its mission of ‘making art a part of everyday life.’
