What is truly awe inspiring and well worth a visit?
The above question can be answered in a myriad of ways, but in this case the answer is the Diego Rivera Murals at the Detroit Institute of Art. Diego Rivera painted the murals in the early 1930's and they are just as astounding to look at today. They capture the essence of manufacturing practices of the time as well as the culture of the day.
