Anyone been to the Detroit Institute of Arts recently?  Does it have metal detectors?

I was there last year and carried without issue. No detectors.

Anyone there more recently?

I went to WSU and forgot the libraries were closed today. I stopped by the DIA anyways just to see. There weren't any detectors on the doors. I did NOT see any policies posted and I didn't find anything posted on their website. I asked a guard what their policies on concealed carry were. He said as long as you have your license and ID, it's ok.

Well I went today and can now answer my own question:  No, there were no traces of metal detectors, and despite some pretty bad printing nobody said one word to me.  I also saw no signage saying word one about weapons of any kind; I saw some about no touching, no flash photography, no gum, and no food or drinks, but that was it.

I will definitely have to go back too, there is far too much to see for just one day.  I doubt I saw 25% of the displays, and read only a tiny fraction of those, it would take me weeks to properly see everything.  To see so much from 300+ years ago, not to mention all the 2-4 THOUSAND year old stuff was just incredible, the skill it must have taken was amazing.  Definitely far better than what I was anticipating (what I was anticipating was a sterile, cold, black and white room full of modern "art" finger paintings and jars full of piss and a bunch of turtleneck wearing faux intellectual hipsters talking about how brilliant and profound it was), it was actually a proper museum with as much history as art, I was more than pleasantly surprised.  I plan to return as soon as I have time.

My recommendation is to skip the current special exhibit however.  It was way over crowded with hardly any room to walk (despite the museum being pleasantly empty for the most part), and the art was, at least to my eye, very unremarkable and filled with commie propaganda.  The enlightenment and Renascence era stuff around it though was nice.

I was very tempted to reach out and touch the 3,000 year old statuses and sculpture inches from me and not behind glass, but resisted the temptation.

I love all the suits of armor in the long hall, if that's still set up there.
It's been a while, I need to go again soon.

Yes it is, donated by William Randolph Hearst as I recall, there is also a gun (wheel lock) and sword (and a mace) display.
