The Detroit Institute of Arts Alive and Well!
The Detroit Institute of Arts has reopened its doors with great success.
Our beloved museum which has continuously kept a whopping two thirds of its collection in storage now has finally been able to make spare room for its hidden jewels. The museum has expanded with lucious updated and expanded gallery spaces, pristine sklylight staircases and artworks galore that are now out in the light. Opening day the museum accepted visitors for free during twenty four continuous hours of operation. My alltime dream of having a slumber party at the museum pretty much happened as visitors were allowed to roam at all hours!
Opening reception night was a blast with DJ Holly from 89x spinning and a dance floor packed and museum packed and surrounding streets of Detroit packed! Truely a success for the DIA and Detroit. A clear sign that the privatization effort that took so long to come to realization during the 90's was the best solution for our museum.
Here are a few images from opening day fall 2007.
Blessings Detroit.
