"Detroit's Fine Arts Heritage New York, Washington D.C., and Chicago get a lot of the good press when it comes to the arts and art museums, but the Detroit Institute of Arts helps Detroit give these cities a run for their money. The diverse collection is spread out over 100 galleries and includes African, Asian, Islamic, and modern and contemporary art (and the list goes on). But don't ignore the local contributions to the art world. Make sure you take proper time to stand before Diego Rivera's enormous Detroit Industry fresco to give you some historical context before exploring the rest of the city."
