The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) will offer free general admission to active military personnel and their families (military ID holder and five immediate family members) from Memorial Day (May 27) to Labor Day (Sept. 2) as part of the Blue Star Museums program. This year, more than 1,800 (and counting) museums in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa are taking part in the initiative, including more than 450 new museums this year.
