Explore America's #1 Art Museum with me!

Let's explore one of the crown jewels of the city of Detroit- the Detroit Institute of Arts. Spend the afternoon with me at the DIA, exploring the wealth of art we have here in our great city.

Whether you're into classic works of art, contemporary art, or the abstract, you'll find amazing examples of it here at the DIA. I plan on this being an informal gathering, and not rushing through the museum. Stay with the larger group, or break off and spend more time in a certain area.

Remember- if you live in Wayne, Oakland, or Macomb Counties, you get free General Admission into the museum.

Adult tickets (Non-Members outside of the tri-counties): $20.00 each

Members- FREE
