"Designed to present Detroit’s rich, layered history in an easy-to-grasp manner, Detroit Historical Museum—in Midtown—is operated by the Detroit Historical Society. In 2015 the museum added five permanent exhibits, including “Detroit: The Arsenal of Democracy” and the “Kid Rock Music Lab.” Many locals equate “the Streets of Old Detroit” (emulating the 1840s, 1870s and 1900s) with their childhood—walk on the cobblestone streets to learn why. The Historical Museum is also only 2 miles from Motown Museum, making it easy to visit both in the same day."

"This museum was established to preserve and document the history, growth, and development of Detroit and its people, including the fascinating "Motor City" exhibit. Children love "Streets of Old Detroit," with its cobblestone streets and old-fashioned storefronts. Other exhibits chronicle Detroit's history as a fur-trading outpost, the Underground Railroad routes leading through Detroit, and the old Boblo Amusement Park."

"The Detroit Historical Museum is situated in the cultural centre of the historic district of Midtown Detroit. The museum is the house which details the entire history of Detroit. It illustrates the cobblestone streets that the city is known for, the 19th-century stores, toy trains, and so on."

"Folding in the former Detroit Science Center (it closed in 2011), Michigan Science Center debuted in late 2012 across the street from Detroit Institute of Arts. There’s enough under one roof to keep a family busy all day, including 250 exhibits, a planetarium, two live shows (Chrysler Science Stage, mixing chemistry and physics; and DTE Energy Sparks Theater, all about electricity), and a 4D theater. Special exhibits include a STEM Playground with a new “marble wall” and self-led activities in the Smithsonian Spark!"

"Last but not least is the Michigan Science Center, which has earned four stars out of 68 reviews on Yelp. You can find the kid-friendly museum at 5020 John R St. The museum includes live stage shows, a 4D theater, a planetarium, hands-on exhibits, lab activities and special exhibits, per its website. This summer, stop by and check out "Spark!Lab" from the Smithsonian, an interactive exhibit that is focused on invention, creativity and collaboration."

"If you love science, you won’t want to miss the Michigan Science Center. Highlights include a dome theater where you can catch educational shows, a planetarium, live science demonstrations in exhibit laboratories and an awesome children’s gallery for the mini scientists among you. After-dark events are also available for those who want to enjoy the museum in a livelier atmosphere."

"A historical maritime museum, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum is located along the Detroit River on The Strand on Belle Isle Park.

Also exhibited is S.S."

"MBAD African Bead Museum Thousands of strands of beads—spanning centuries, African countries, and materials, from shells to seeds and snake vertebrae—hang in this gallery that occupies the entire first floor of a rowhouse spangled with bright paint and mirrored mosaics. Olayami Dabls, the driving force behind the project, has been collecting beads for decades, and holds court in the gallery. He also built a sprawling sculpture park behind the house, full of poetic fables rendered in rock and metal."

"The African Bead Museum is a strikingly colourful 17,500 sq. ft museum building,serving as a repository for African artifices including sculptures, textiles, pottery, and bead works. Some of the beads found here are hundreds of years old."

"The Scarab Club transports you back a century to a gilded age of arts appreciation when costumed balls and visits by Diego Rivera and Norman Rockwell were the norm. The 1928 building’s gorgeous interior is..."

"A local art scene can really pull a city together and that’s what the Heidelberg Project has done for Detroit. The project was cxreated by local artist Tyree Guyton in the 1980s and still lives today. What was once a small art project has now turned into a movement aimed at revitalizing communities affected by political and racial clashes."

"Detroit artist Tyree Guyton took a look around his neighborhood and was unhappy with what he saw. So he decided to do something about it. The Heidelberg Project, a public art display exploding across Heidelberg Street in eastern Detroit, is the..."
