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.

The hope is that the exhibition will surprise, entertain, enlighten and educate the residents. Graham Beal, director and president of the Detroit Institute of Arts, talks about the successes of the project and the ideals that drive it.
