Detroit Institute of Arts Named #1 Museum in America

The Detroit Institute of Arts ranks ahead of every other art museum in the U.S. in USA Today’s annual 10Best Competition for top art museum.

“Housed within a Beaux Arts building, the Detroit Institute of Arts maintains a collection of some 65,000 works - among the largest and most comprehensive in the United States,” USA Today wrote about its winner. “Visitors can explore human creativity from across the globe as they explore more than 100 galleries

The DIA was nominated by a panel of experts made up of editors from both USA Today and 10Best.com. The top 10 was then determined by a public vote.

"We couldn't be prouder of our museum, our amazing team, and the community we serve. Thank you to everyone who voted for us and who supports our mission of inspiring and enriching lives through art. We will continue to work hard to provide incredible experiences for our visitors and to celebrate the power of art in all its forms."

The DIA recently brought in around 70 works from Vincent Van Gogh from around the world "Van Gogh in America" exhibition. The exhibition was six years in the making
