About this listen

 Oct. 28, 2025 ~ Dr. Robert Livernois journeys into the cultural heart of Detroit to explore a landmark that’s more than just a museum—it’s a symbol of the city’s soul. On this episode of Hidden in Plain Sight, we visit the Detroit Institute of Arts, affectionately known as the DIA. From its humble beginnings in 1888 as the Detroit Museum of Art to its transformation into a world-class institution, the DIA has mirrored Detroit’s rise, struggles, and resilience. Tune in for a story of artistic legacy, civic pride, and the quiet power of community action. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
