Another one for Peter Cusack.

In the last couple of months the Detroit Institute of Art re-opened after undergoing a major overhaul that cost somewhere in the ballpark of 150 million dollars. It is amazing! Not only does the DIA have a comprehensive collection of paintings, but also has one of the few surviving Diego Rivera murals left in the United States.

I was so impressed with the redesign that I bought a family membership the week it re-opened. They had some of their collection out while the remodeling was going on, but now it is like any other major museum that I have visited where you have to spend some time to take it all in.

I try and make it a point to find an artist who I haven’t been aware of most times I visit any museum, and found Ferdinand Hodler on this particular visit.
