The Detroit Institute of Arts is at the forefront of a national trend that’s turning museums into people-friendly places.
When the $158 million renovation is complete and the closed wings of
the DIA reopen in the fall of 2007, the 121-year-old pride of Detroit
will be a “new” museum. It will be easier for visitors to navigate, due
to a spine connecting the 1927 Paul Cret building with the North and
South wings added during the 1960s. There will be a more logical,
easy-to-explore configuration of galleries on either side of the
corridor.
