This is a much more interesting place to visit frequently than, say, the Cincinnati Art Museum, based on the permanent exhibits.We were lucky to see several special exhibits as well, and it was well worth the two hours it involved picking up the great-grandmother of my baby son and getting her to the FIA. She was in a wheelchair and my son was in a stroller. It was an easy place to navigate.I also enjoyed the museum shop and the caf. I highly recommend this little gem. It's not as small as it seems.
I loved touring the Institute of Art! Lots of amazing artwork and historical pieces. Loved the glass exhibits as well! I would definitely go again next time I'm in Flint!
I have been visiting the FIA annually for about 20 years. The museum itself is one of the more interesting collections in Michigan, second only to the DIA. They recently expanded to add a contemporary glass and ceramic wing and a hot shop. The hot shop is awesome - stadium style seating for observation, modern equipment, cameras and screens for enhanced viewing.
The art itself was great, loved it. However, I was made VERY uncomfortable when I noticed that a specific security guard was following me. He proceeded to follow me the entire time I was there, moving to each room I entered. I understand that the institute would like to prevent any damage to their exhibits, but overall the fact that I was singled out and followed made my visit very unpleasant.
The art exhibits were excellent. The facility was spotless. BUT, I was an employed black man, with a good job, and it seemed I was followed around, like I was a criminal. Maybe be cause I was wearing gym clothes. I was in a relax mode, cause I had the week off. I just hope they do not treat other black visitors, this way.
