The Aquarium on Bell Isle
While down there see Pewabic Pottery but some of the places with old
tile installations can be even more fun. Like the Aquarium - above.
The tile installations on the monorail-like rapid transit. By a day
pass and stop at each station.
Det. Instititute of Arts
Great Old pots at the Henry Ford Museum
Others will have more. I haven't lived there in 30 years, but I visit.
Its a sad place. Whole areas of the city could become farms. Empty. No
houses all that hardwood paneling and trim- gone.
There is always ceramics out in the burbs at galleries, but I don't
know where right now. Someone else will.

Take a drive to Ann Arbor and visit the fine galleries and Art Museum on the
U of Michigan Campus. If you get a map of the town, it will lead you to all
the grand places....most of the galleries are around Main Street.
It is definitely worth the trip!
Best of luck!

Louis,
Unfortunately the Aquarium closed April 3, 2005.
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick announced the closure as part of a $230 million
budget shortfall. The closing will save more than $530,000 in annual
expenses to keep the aquarium operable and suitable for animals and
visitors, the mayor's office said

Sabra,
Someone else mentioned Eastern Market which I'd recommend as well. While
you are there, go see Tyree Guyton's Heidelberg Project, which is very
close by. Check it out at www.heidelberg.org

That is unfortunate. I have memories though. Surrounded by tile. And
the electric eel.
Wonder when or if the burbs will start to see their future tied to that
of the mother city again.

You can also check out the Detroit Zoo, the Dossin
Museum on Belle Isle, Hard Rock Cafe in the new
CompuWare building in the downtown section, on
Woodward ave there are many places to eat, 2 of my
favorites are Agave (Mexican) and Union Street
(varitey). There is also the Detroit Historical
Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Ft. Wayne, the
Pubic Library is also very nice, the Science Center
and the Charles Wright African American Museum.
I work at Pewabic and if you visit give me a call.

Hi Sabra, I see you've gotten many great suggestions for things to see/do in
Detroit already (Pewabic, DIA, DPL, etc.) but I'm not sure if anyone's
mentioned the Pottery Shop at Greenfield Village in nearby Dearborn yet,
where you can see lots of Early American redware and salt fired stoneware
being made/displayed
(www.thehenryford.org/village/libertycraftworks/pottery). Also, depending
on when you are going to be in Detroit, there will be a grand opening of the
new glass shop in Greenfield Village on April 29th and a big wood firing
just outside of the Pottery Shop on April 30th. There are many other cool
things to see at Greenfield Village as well, particularly in the Liberty
Craftworks area (glass blowing, wheel throwing and slip decorating pottery,
weaving, tin shop, print shop, etc.). I highly recommend it!
Dorie Mickelson in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where it is another beautiful day!
