However, the museum houses more than 65,000 diverse pieces, ranging from Egyptian mummies to French-Impressionist paintings. The museum is on the National Register of Historic Places and hosts a number of visiting exhibitions, concerts, and events year-round.

I love this museum. Over the four years I've lived around Detroit I have gone here so many times. It is home to my favorite sculpture The Vailed Lady.

Great museum with good friendly staff. There is an amazing collection of art here. If you enjoy art it is a must see. My personal favorite is the Diego Rivera mural, love his work and it is incredible look at. Could spend an hour just in that room. Have fun and enjoy!
