Detroit Institute of Fine Arts

The Detroit Institute of Arts displays a representative cross-section of man's artistic creation from the earliest cultures to the present day. Its strong points are the art of China; the art and culture of the Near East and classical antiquity; works of art, arms and armor of medieval Europe; and American art and culture (including 18th c. domestic interiors in Whiteby Hall, a mansion of 1754). The collection includes many masterpieces of European painting, including works by Rembrandt, Van Gogh (self-portrait), Matisse and Picasso.
