The DIA has a wonderful permanent collection of art and brings shows to the museum. (We saw the Barnor pnotography display.) Of course, the pièces de resistance are the "Detroit Industry Murals" by Diego Rivera.

Phenomenal - icing on cake was the highlights tour Mark Habel was an impressive dozen. Having visited a few times, he took it to the next level for us. Great overview. Would suggest timing with the dozen tour

Made a trip here recently with family and friends and was very happy with our visit. Easy to get to from the western burbs. $7 to park was a fair price to pay as the lot was across the street from the rear entrance to the building. Free to get in as we were Wayne and Oakland county residents. Very friendly staff. Far too many exhibits to see in one day so we plan on going back. Something for all ages. DIA cafe is a small, quiet space allowing you to enjoy a coffee, pastry, or other refreshment. The Kresge Court has a nice selection of hot or cold foods including soups, sandwiches, salads, and daily specials. We enjoyed our meal there. I had not been here in a very long time and was very pleased with the trip. Am looking forward to venturing back and seeing some of what we missed. Definitely a go to place in my book.

Several of our Michigan friends recommended the DIA, and it was well worth a visit. The collection spans ancient to modern art from around the globe. We spent about 2 hours here, but you could easily stay longer. The shop has some interesting merchandise as well. A reasonably-priced paid parking lot is just across the street, and several other attractions and restaurants are within walking distance, so you can park once and make a day of it.

This museum is extremely large with many collections. I spent 3 hours there and felt I could have spent another 2 hours, if I had the time. I went mid week, so it was not overly busy or crowded. The temporary exhibit of black cinema was exceptional and I highly recommend.

Just went to the DIA on the weekend and I was absolutely blown away by the entire collection of art and artifacts. The massive collection is beyond impressive and it covers a wide range of periods in time and regions. I could go on forever about this place but I won't; if you love art and history this is the place for you. I will definitely be back again. Oh, and we had lunch there and it was delicious too.

The Detroit Institute of Art, otherwise known as the DIA, is an amazing art museum. The DIA offers a huge collection of famous works and regularly features many local and up and coming artists. If you are in the Detroit area, the Detroit Institute of Art is a must see.

You won't believe what you're seeing at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Room after room of the masters! Though there are many other reason to visit this city, including its wealth of architecture, this place alone is worth the trip.

Amazing museum with a great variety of art and artifacts from different periods. Very reasonably priced. Great collection of Van Gogh and particularly surprised they had his self portrait here. Visited on a Saturday in August and it wasn’t terribly crowded. Recommend going to the atrium courtyard for a beverage and a snack - it is like a nice lounge area.

Impossible to give anything g but 5 stars. The collection is more incredible than I ever would have expected. Docents were eager to share what they knew about the Rivera murals- and the cafe on the ground floor was icing in the cake! It is a stunning space and truly reminds one that Detroit was, at a time, the center of the industrial world, and was built to impress!
