If you love museums, this is a big museums that covers a variety of topics. Exhibits include the actual bus Rosa Parks sat in to start the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Wright Brothers’ planes and George Washington Carver’s cabin.
Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
Fun Fact: Micky is obsessed with African American museums. She even wrote a guide for approaching the NMAAHC (the Blacksonian) in DC as a pilgrimage experience. The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, affectionately called "The Wright" by Detroiters was the largest African American History museum before the NMAAHC opened. In this museum you'll experience unique exhibits, events, conversations and performances and find unique gifts to take home.
Detroit Institute of Arts
Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has been named the nation's best art museum two years in a row (2023, 2024) in USA Today - outranking the The Art Institute of Chicago. This place is unlike any art museum you've EVER visited with a wide selection of objects, furniture and visual art in its permanent collection, incredible exhibitions, public programs and events that go late into the evening on Friday nights. There are two cafes inside the museum as well with places to grab food and a beverage. We've been dancing at the museum - sometimes there's a DJ and a themed dance night makes for art in motion! If dancing isn't your thing, not to worry, you can catch a film, learn to draw, make an art project or catch a concert. Closed Monday. Open 9-4 Tuesday-Thursday; 9-9pm on Friday and 10-5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
