Several Colorado museums are launching new exhibitions in 2026. The Museum of Boulder presents "Blazing Trail for 150 Years at CU Boulder" (Jan 16–Mar 1), celebrating the university's sesquicentennial. The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) opens "Yes &…" (Jan 29–May 3), featuring 18 artists exploring human-made art in the age of AI. History Colorado Center mounts "Mountains Majesty: On the Summit With John Fielder" (Jan 24, 2026–Jan 10, 2027), showcasing landscape photographs by the late John Fielder. MCA Denver hosts Ana María Hernando's solo exhibition "Seguir Cantando (Keep Singing)" (Mar 5–Jul 5), featuring tulle sculptures.
These exhibitions matter because they highlight Colorado's cultural vitality and historical milestones in 2026, a year marking the state's 150th anniversary and the nation's semiquincentennial. The shows range from historical reflection at the Museum of Boulder and History Colorado to contemporary art grappling with technology and materiality at BMoCA and MCA Denver, offering diverse entry points for local audiences and visitors to engage with art and heritage.
