The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), one of the premier art museums in the
United States, is home to more than 60,000 works that comprise a
multicultural survey of human creativity from ancient times through the 21st
century. From the first van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum
(Self-Portrait, 1887), to Diego Rivera's world-renowned Detroit Industry
murals (1932–33), the DIA's collection is known for its quality, range, and
depth. As the DIA celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2010, it does so with
renewed commitment to its visitor-centered experience and to its mission of
creating opportunities for all visitors to find personal meaning in art. Let
yourself go!
