USA Today's 2024 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards announced that The Detroit Institute of Arts was named the country's best art museum.
"Housed within a Beaux-Arts building, the Detroit Institute of Arts maintains a collection of more than 65,000 works — among the largest and most comprehensive in the United States. Visitors can enjoy human creativity from across the globe as they explore more than 100 galleries, including the Center for African American Art, one of the first collections devoted to African American art at a major museum."
The DIA director, Salvador Salort-Pons, was excited about this great news.
“It was exciting that the Detroit Institute of Art was selected by USA Today readers as the best art museum in the country for a second year. This recognition not only celebrates the museum's outstanding collections and exhibitions but also highlights the dedication and passion of its staff in creating enriching experiences for all our visitors.”
