Concierge.com's insider take:
This well-curated museum runs two exhibits at a time focusing all manner of contemporary and modern art. The problem? It's tiny, worthy of an hour or so to see it all. That will all change in 2013, when the AAM moves into its new home on the corner of South Spring and Hyman in downtown Aspen. The space is designed by innovative Japanese architect Shikuru Ban, one of the 13 architects chosen by Brad Pitt to work with his Make It Right foundation to rebuild New Orleans's Lower 9th Ward. The 30,000-square-foot space features a roof deck with a sculpture garden and an unbeatable view of Aspen Mountain.—by Samantha Berman
