WE are so very fortunate that the DIA has been renewed by the generosity and vision of many. It was always good but now it is THE BEST 4 ALL OF US!

They really have brought it into the 21st century. Kids today are very hands on and they have incorporated it in their renovation. Great Place.

The DIA is the best museum in a city full of cultural talent. The new building, staff and committment to our city is second to none. The DIA is the back drp for all of our wonderful cultural institutions. An evening in the Great Hall is Magical. Jeff Antaya

The DIA is world class just like our region. I am so excited about the future with the new improvements and a more user friendly attitude to our guests. The collection, leadership and staff are all top notch and will serve us well into the new century. We all have much to be proud.

The DIA is the gem in the crown of Detroit's cultural center. It's offerings of activities and it's vast, diverse collections are the embodiment of what a world class art museum should and in this case, does offer.
