The Detroit Institute of Arts Reopens
Detroit’s first-class museum, known locally as The DIA, officially reopened its doors today after a 5-year overhaul. The New York Times wrote a nice review. In my opinion, reporter Holland Carter, got a few things wrong, such as when he stated that, “it could be on an open prairie rather than in the center of a city, so faint is the urban buzz around it.” There are, in fact, two other museums the next block over along with The College for Creative Studies, which, I suspect, was out for the Thanksgiving holiday when the reporter visited the DIA. I suppose if you’re comparing it to New York, we are the boonies. And Detroit has seen better days. But now we have our wonderful museum open again, and with a whole new outlook on the arts.
