Located in the heart of Detroit's Cultural Center, the Detroit Institute of Arts is recognized as one of the country's premier art museums. From the first van Gogh painting to enter a public collection in the U.S. (Self Portrait, 1887) to Diego Rivera's world-renowned_Detroit Industry_ murals, the DIA's collection reveals the scope and depth of human experience, imagination and emotion. Founded in 1885, the DIA is home to art across all cultures and eras including European painting, sculpture and decorative arts; Islamic, Middle Eastern and Asian; African and Egyptian; ancient Greek and Roman; Oceanic and Indigenous American; African American; graphic arts; film and video; and contemporary art, encompassing some 60,000 works. The museum offers an active year-round schedule of educational programs, performances, film screenings and special events for visitors of all ages, serving as an accessible and inspiring gateway to the art of cultures around the world.
