A few days ago, my BFF and I took a quick overnight trip to Detroit. She wanted to go to their art museum, it's a 3.5 hour drive, so we decided to make an overnight of it.
The Detroit Institute of Art has a truly historic permanent installation, namely a courtyard completely covered with murals by Diego Rivera, and they are stunning in that "stand there and get teary over human creativity" kind of way.
Anyway that isn't the point of this post.
We went to a jazz club that night, and the next morning we went for brunch. We had like an hour's wait, so we walked a few blocks away in downtown Detroit to the Guardian Building, which I'd been told was worth seeing. It's just an office building, open whenever, you can just walk in and look around, but it looks like THIS:
It's an absolutely stunning Art Deco building that's currently owned by Wayne County and houses most of their offices, along with other tenants.
There is a ton of Deco architecture in Detroit, as most of the big expansion of the city during the automobile boom was in the 20s and 30s. Downtown Detroit is back to being a bustling social hub and the city's recovered a lot from its crises.
I recommend a visit.

Christ Receiving the Children
Artist: Sébastien Bourdon (French, 1616–1671)
Date: 1650–1660
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States
Description
In this illustration of an episode from the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament, Jesus (reclining at center) admonishes his disciples not to prevent little children from approaching him. Sébastien Bourdon's figures wear draperies in the antique fashion, and the setting evokes both ancient Rome and the Christian Holy Land.
One of the most versatile and successful 17th-century French painters, Bourdon emulated the rigorous classical style of Nicolas Poussin. Bourdon knew Poussin's work (such as the painting on view in this gallery) from his early years in Rome. Following Poussin's compositional principles, Bourdon organized this scene as a series of parallel, stage-like registers, resulting in a calm, geometric order.
