Inside/Out Project Displays Art on Detroit Streets

The Takeaway

Great works of art have come to the streets of Detroit as part of a new exhibition called  Inside/Out. Proving  that art can also be enjoyed outside of museum walls, The Detroit Institute of Arts has brought life-size reproductions of famous masterpieces to the streets, parks and concrete facades of Detroit.  This is the second year for the Inside Out project, following its initial success in 2010. But this year, the Institute expanded the program to include more communities, and even more classic paintings.
