Overheard at the DIA

I'm spending this lovely Sunday afternoon working at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and I thought I would write a quick update while I have a free moment.

I just walked past a group of 4 young men, probably in the range of 18 to 22 years old. They look like they just came from playing a game of basketball or some kind of warm outdoor activity. This is what I overheard:

Guy 1: I didn't know we could come here for free. Like as much as we want. 
 Guy 2: I know, we can come here whenever we want now.
Guy 3: That's so awesome. I'm going to bring my little sister.

It warms my heart to see an "nontraditional" group of museum goers getting so excited about how accessible the museum is to them. I really do hope to see them back soon, and hopefully they will bring friends and family!
