seeing the sights: detroit institute of the arts

(in the beautiful Great Hall)

One of the things Wildcat Guy and I decided after moving to Michigan was that we wanted to make a conscious effort to see and do things in the area - that, if we were going to say that one of the benefits to living in a more urban area was having more activities and fun opportunities available, we needed to actually take advantage of that circumstance.

Today, we went on our first adventure - to the Detroit Institute of Arts, which is hosting a special exhibit about samurai culture that I really wanted to see. Not only was the exhibit great, but it was awesome to see the museum as a whole. The modern wing seems to be the most extensive, but even in the smallest exhibits, there were things to grab our interest. It made for a rewarding first outing to explore our new home area.
