Detroit Institute of Arts says
“Leave the Driving to Us”
for Wayne County Day
Free bus transportation to DIA from several Wayne County locations
Saturday, March 29, 2014
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is providing free bus transportation to and from the museum on Saturday, April 5 for Wayne County residents. Visitors can browse the collection, take part in an art-making activity, view two free exhibitions, or see the Samurai: Beyond the Sword exhibition at the discounted group rate of $12 per person.
In addition to the great art, the DIA has two restaurants: Café DIA and Kresge Court. The museum shop has a variety of gifts, many of which cannot be found in other area stores. A special Samurai: Beyond the Sword shop is also available, with many objects imported from Japan (no visit to the exhibition necessary).
The special Wayne County Day is provided thanks to Wayne County residents, who voted to support the DIA through last year’s millage.
