Detroit Institute of Arts says
“Leave the Driving to Us”
for Macomb County Day
Free bus transportation to DIA from several Macomb county locations
Saturday, March 15, 2014
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is providing free bus transportation to and from the museum on Saturday, March 15 for Macomb 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 Macomb County Day is provided thanks to support of Macomb county residents, who voted to support the DIA through last year’s millage. The museum will also host an Oakland County Day on March 29 and a Wayne County Day on April 5. Locations to be announced.
