Baryn Futa Retired Into Art Appreciation
These days, Baryn Futa spends his time trying to cultivate an appreciation of arts in as many people as possible. He sees arts as a cause that benefits all of society, not just as a profitable and useful investment. Art is important enough to preserve for future generations. Just as the art of our past puts us in touch with our ancestors, preserving art for our descendants will serve as a bridge from the past to the future. To Baryn, that makes art collections and art museums extremely important.
Baryn Futa didn’t always have such a deep appreciation for art. In fact, it wasn’t until he retired and began working with the Denver Art Museum that started to appreciate the importance of art. He also started his own art collection, which has grown to be very extensive and impressive. In addition to lending his own pieces to museums, Baryn Futa also holds memberships in many prominent art museums with impressive collections of their own, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and The Jewish Museum.
