Experience one of America's greatest art museums — home to Diego Rivera's iconic Detroit Industry Murals — in the exclusive company of a senior curator who unlocks stories no audio guide can tell.
What to expect
Your private DIA curator meets you in the Great Hall and leads you through five millennia of art — from ancient Egyptian mummies to Rodin bronzes to Van Gogh self-portraits. The undisputed centrepiece is the Rivera Court: four walls of floor-to-ceiling frescoes depicting Detroit's industrial might in breathtaking detail. The curator reveals hidden symbolism and political controversy woven into every panel. The tour closes with a champagne reception in the members' lounge.
Good to know
The DIA is a 10-minute rideshare from downtown Detroit. Pre-arrange your private tour by emailing groups@dia.org at least 3 weeks ahead. The museum is closed Mondays — verify your port day falls Tue–Sun.
