With so much natural beauty in Michigan’s four seasons, illustrated in its forests, Great Lakes shoreline, inland lakes, waterfalls, rivers and islands, we sometimes need to be reminded about the significant works of art found indoors at museums across the state. From masterworks by Matisse, Hopper and Degas to soapstone carvings by Inuit artists whose names have been lost to history, you can enjoy a world of classic and contemporary creative talent in permanent and special exhibitions at city and university art museums. Check art institute calendars for guided tours, drop-in art workshops, and live performances, and be sure to visit the museum gift shop for a memento of your artful experience.
