Stumbling across a van Gogh on your morning constitutional may be a startling thought and a dream come true for many art lovers. If you’re one such aficionado, then you may just have to take a trip to Detroit, where the Detroit Institute of Art is celebrating its 125th anniversary with the outdoor installation of famous paintings by Vincent and such other museum ticket-selling faves as Seurat, Fuseli and Degas.
Well, okay—almost. The pieces in this commemorative public installation, DIA: Inside/Out, are actually life-size waterproof reproductions created just for the occasion. Even so, what a thrill to be walking downtown or along the Detroit RiverWalk and find a beautiful piece of art! DIA will be producing a map of all the sites, should you like to make a day of chasing down these faux masterworks. You can read more about this outdoor exhibit here and here.
