I would recommend if you've already been to the museum to go down there on Thursday evenings in the fall and check out the Detroit Film Theatre. They usually have an eclectic collection of excellent foreign films at $7.50. The place is mostly empty sans a few stragglers, CCS students, and film geeks. The theatre itself is 1920s era gorgeous.

So also have the cutest indoor cafe where you can get a decent meal. Yes, I definitely would go again. I would like to go for the day sometime.

The DIA has a very impressive collection. I could spend days looking at everything. I don't think I've ever managed to see the whole place in a day. There is always something new and they usually have some high-end traveling exhibits. They have a couple of restaurants but I've never tried them. I'm not sure kids would be able to take this for very long but they do have something for everyone. Take the time to go here, you'll be surprised at what famous works of art are right here in our own backyard.

I recommend the Detroit Institute of Art Museum. It is a great place to expose children to art or a great place to bring a date. You can walk around and talk about what you see- it instantly adds interesting conversation to your date. They offer paintings, graphic art, antiques, furniture, sculpture, you name it. Everyone will find something they are interested in. This is a great place for a field trip or outing for scouts or clubs. Also they offer a nice gift shop. Remodeling is going on right now so it should look really nice when they're done. Friday evenings they offer free programs with music, etc. A great trip for a rainy or hot day! Convenient parking and restaurants are nearby too!

This is a great museum for reviewing art and artifacts. Also makes a great class trip for students. Always lots to do, including special exhibits. Parking structure nearby makes for easy parking, very close to many restaurants to make an entire evening of activities. Last time I went there was no fee to get in, as they were doing remodellling...can't wait to see the finished product!

OK...so it is like a museam, but don't worry...IT IS FUN! Anyone can walk in and find something they are interested in...I promise! They have ALL kinds of art, paintings, sculptures, you name it they have it on display. They have "antique" things, modern things, and everything in between. So grab your friends (I would not bring too young children), and head out there for a fun, interesting, educational day!

The Detroit Institute of Art boasts a nice display of several different types of art and also brings in several popular displays. The building itself is one of a kind and is a true asset to the Detroit community. The gallery also features several discounts for groups including school as well as after-school groups. Admission can be pricey for certain events, but it is often well worth the premium price to see the fabulous art.
