Art museums and libraries are two of my favorite kinds of
places, and I am so lucky to live only two blocks from one of each, and only a
little further away from more. The Detroit Institute of Arts provides a perfect
backdrop for tonight’s story, about a bear who goes in search of Art at an art
museum. The illustrations of the museum combine both drawing and actual works
from a different museum, the Delaware Art Museum, which makes the book itself
almost like a visit to an art museum.
A very special thank you goes to the Detroit Institute of
Arts for giving me permission to film in the museum and for being a fantastic
cultural presence in my neighborhood and region. You can learn more about them
at DIA.org.
Have you ever been to an art museum? What did you see there? Tell me in the comments!
