JMW Turner Museum

The J.M.W. Turner Museum was established in 1973 in Denver, Colorado. The museum’s 800+ collection is back with online exhibitions and prints for sale.

Turner Museum (since 1973) has for more than a quarter century thrived upon the twin motto:

1) A Fierce Attachment to Quality with a Diligent Search for Perfection.

2) Pure sensory delight from start to finish. After more than 20 years, the museum's founder, Douglass Graem, left Denver for Sarasota. Its beautiful collection of artwork by J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) and Thomas Moran (1837-1926) was

placed on the museum's website. Masterfully curated exhibitions can be viewed online with the option to purchase your very own copy of individual pieces. All proceeds are used to fund a new location for the museum. During the phenomenal development of the J.M.W. Turner Museum in its previous location in Denver, no less than three game-changers were introduced:

MULTI-SENSORY APPEAL - An appeal to all 5 senses simultaneously when presenting art to the public. Live chamber music, bouquets of flowers, delicious meals and wine, and a wonderful viewing experience, saw the museum listed among America's 99 Finest Art Museums for many years. Through our online exhibitions, music accompanies each collection since technology hasn't advanced enough to allow the sharing of food, wine and aromas. COSMIC MOMENTS - Displaying exhibits paired with at least one enhanced and detailed image from the original, is what we call a cosmic moment. It could be a snapshot of our lives which has not changed over the centuries. A mother holding her new-born, wash-day, two dogs meeting each other with a get-acquainted sniff. There was tremendous feedback from visitors to our 2012 exhibition at the Selby Gallery, Ringling College. People were amazed by the intimate details visible by displaying Turner’s work this way. THE PAIRING OF MASTERS - The regular practice of pairing Turner’s art with the art of other masters. Thus, we had our first exhibition in 1974, to celebrate the influence Turner had on Thomas Moran (1837-1926), best known as the “Father of all National Parks”. Other exhibitions outline the seminal influence Turner has on the Impressionists, now for almost a century the public’s number 1 favorites. Turner Museum’s inventory of 600+ prime Turners along with thousands of other Turner items now offered to the public has been often called the largest of its kind on our planet. Please note that many of our offerings are either unique or special edition items which have survived two centuries of vicissitudes and are available only in strictly limited quantities.
