About Madden Gallery at the Museum of Outdoor Arts
Located within Palazzo Verdi, and just steps away from MOA’s Marjorie Park, the Madden Gallery showcases multiple exhibitions each year, all free and accessible to the public.
Formerly known as The Madden Museum of Art, the nearly 10,000-square-foot gallery space was founded by MOA Co-Founders John and Marjorie Madden and first opened in October 2008 alongside the debut of Palazzo Verdi, the commercial office building developed by John Madden Company in which it is located. From 2008 to 2013, the space hosted rotating exhibitions. In 2013, MOA Co-Founder and President Cynthia Madden Leitner curated Inspired by Art: The Building of a Legacy, showcasing the collection of her parents, John and Marjorie.
In 2016, Mr. Madden donated 133 works from his and Marjorie’s private collectionto the University of Denver (DU). DU operated the Madden Museum of Art as a hands-on training facility for students until early 2025, when the terms of the gift concluded. MOA has since stepped in to carry forward the Madden legacy through the newly titled Madden Gallery at the Museum of Outdoor Arts, serving as a natural extension of MOA’s offerings just steps away at Marjorie Park and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre.
With MOA’s 43-year history, including nearly 30 years devoted to temporary indoor gallery exhibitions, we are pleased to once again offer this program to our patrons following a 2-year hiatus. We remain committed to supporting and inspiring the creative community through upcoming exhibitions, artist lectures, and other cultural offerings currently in development
