GENINT 731.527
Osher (50+). In this course, we experience a virtual tour of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
About this course:
In 2023, readers of USA Today voted the Detroit Institute of Arts the number one art museum in the United States. Founded in 1885 by prominent Detroit citizens, it has changed locations, undergone several expansions, and grown to house over 65,000 works. In this course, we take a virtual tour of this world-renowned art museum, affectionately known as the DIA, and explore its art collection from all over the world spanning centuries, including an extensive American art collection, the first Van Gogh work in the United States, and a Diego Rivera mural. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.Contact Us
