- Description:
- Exterior view of the Detroit Institute of Arts on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. "The DIA has been a beacon of culture for the Detroit area for well over a century.

The new Beaux-Arts building, designed by Paul Cret, was immediately referred to as the "temple of art." Two wings were added in the 1960s and 1970s, and a major renovation and expansion that began in 1999 was completed in 2007," from the DIA's website.
