Impressionism at the Detroit Institute of Arts – Thursday Night Art History Series – Hosted by Robert Kelleman
You’re invited to join us for a livestream art history tour of the Detroit Institute of Arts (the DIA), one of the top art museums in the United States. This particular program will focus on French Impressionism, with the DIA having one of the world’s best collections with works by Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Cassatt, Rodin, and more. Your host, Robert, spent the first two years of his career working at the Detroit Institute of Arts and is extremely familiar with the museum and its collection.
This online/virtual livestream program is part of our Thursday Night Art History Series, where we’ll meet most Thursdays to review, study, and discuss great art from around the world.
During and after the program you’re welcome to join in an online discussion with your fellow history lovers via Zoom.
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), located in Detroit, Michigan, has one of the largest and most significant art collections in the United States. With over 100 galleries, it covers 658,000 square feet. The DIA collection is regarded as among the top six museums in the United States with an encyclopedic collection which spans the globe from ancient Egyptian and European works to contemporary art. Its art collection is valued in billions of dollars, up to $8.1 billion according to a 2014 appraisal. The DIA campus is located in Detroit’s Cultural Center Historic District, about two miles (3 km) north of the downtown area.
The museum building is highly regarded by architects. The original building, designed by Paul Philippe Cret, is flanked by north and south wings with the white marble as the main exterior material for the entire structure. The campus is part of the city’s Cultural Center Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The museum’s first painting was donated in 1883 and its collection consists of over 65,000 works. With about 677,500 visitors annually for 2015, the DIA is among the most visited art museums in the world.
