    Humboldt Forest is an amazing space. It's a great place to see fresh graffiti from Michigan artists whenever you stop by.

    I recently had the chance to visit the Detroit Institute of Arts. The museum is a great balance…read morebetween being expansive and still manageable. You can easily spend a few hours here without feeling overwhelmed. What stood out most was the diversity of the collection. From classic European paintings to modern and contemporary works, there's something for every kind of art lover. The layout of the museum is intuitive, and I appreciated how easy it was to move between galleries without getting lost. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere felt relaxed rather than stuffy. Overall, I'd highly recommend the Detroit Institute of Arts to anyone visiting Detroit or even locals who haven't been in a while. It's a thoughtfully curated, enriching experience that feels both accessible and inspiring.

Needless to say I have some periods I detest. This museum filled that RAGE BAITING once again. Do not get me wrong, I appreciate these time periods and why they exist, the influences we have today are a result FROM these movements. I was hoping for some more recent movements of the 1920's to the 1950's. Detroit is a beautiful city, if you know where to look and where to see. A huge amount of art deco and mid century designs galore. Too bad this city needs to move it around/away to make room for the new wave of living in Detroit. I'm just glad there was an outfit of art in this city. Not my to liking but I did feel my dad surrounding me again was a nice memory...

    As a native Detroiter who loved Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum and enjoys automotive…read morehistory, a tour of the Ford Piquette Avenue plant was a joy. This museum has the largest collection of model Ts on display. Fun fact: there were actually two model As, and no model P for, well, I think obvious reasons. Not only is every model Ford built at the plant on display, but also competitor's vehicles of the time, including an electric car that Mrs. Ford is reported to have loved driving. There are many surprises I will not spoil. If you love cars, history, old architecture, and friendly knowledgeable tour guides, this is a must see place on a visit to Detroit. Or for folks who live in Detroit who want to know more about its rich history.

    We paid $20 admission & started with a short film about the factory, Ford & this plant. Tom, a…read moreretired engineer led us through a :75 tour including time for questions. The Model-T Automotive Heritage Complex, Inc., aka the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, was organized in 2000 as a nonprofit to preserve the Plant & keep it from being demolished. It's a museum & education center offering special programs & events. There are weddings here on weekends. In 1996 it was dedicated & was placed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. We spent about 2 hrs here & looked out the window at how part of this factory was converted to apartments. Over 1,600 men worked here over 100 years ago manufacturing Fords. There are over 65 rare automobiles including Henry Ford's "Letter Cars," unique Model T conversion vehicles, and other antique cars manufactured in Milwaukee Junction. We visited Henry Ford's office and Secret Experimental Room where the Model T was created in 1908. We experienced one of the world's oldest surviving automotive plants through a guided tour led by museum docents.

    The Park West Gallery team was one of the biggest highlights of our Sun Princess cruise. Even after…read morecollecting artwork with Park West for years, they found a way to make every auction feel fresh, exciting, and fun. A huge shout-out to Trent, who is an outstanding auctioneer. His energy, humor, and storytelling kept everyone engaged from beginning to end. The mystery art events were especially entertaining--you never knew what surprise was coming next, and the excitement in the room was contagious. The rest of the team--Georgia, Aiden, Layla, Toro, and Kern--were equally impressive. Every one of them was friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you were a first-time attendee or a longtime collector, they took the time to answer questions, explain artists, and make everyone feel welcome. There was never any pressure--just a genuine passion for art and helping people enjoy the experience. Although we didn't purchase anything on this sailing because our collection has shifted more toward original paintings, we never missed an auction because they were simply that much fun. As an unexpected bonus, we were lucky enough to win a beautiful KRE8 artwork, which made the week even more memorable. If you're sailing on the Sun Princess, do yourself a favor and attend a Park West auction. You might discover an artist you love, learn something new, win a piece of art, or simply have a fantastic time. Trent and the entire team made this an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to see them again on a future cruise. Bravo to everyone!

I kept asking about piece after piece and Ronél Ströh never made me feel like I was wasting her time. Over the course of the trip she really learned my taste and found a stunning painting by Jim Warren. She Tracked it down in the catalog, wasn't even on the ship. She just knew I'd want it. Over different days she explained the difference between lithographs, serigraphs, hand-embellished pieces. I price-checked in front of her, never felt embarrassed. Didn't buy until basically the last day. Zero pressure, ever. I Left with two Kre8s, a Peter Max, a Fazzino, and that Warren. About the pricing, yes it's above street market, but the frames alone are stunning. I tried framing the complimentary lithographs I received and got a reality check fast on what framing actually costs. So honestly, the framing alone and when you include shipping is already at least 250+ everything arrived faster than I expected, beautifully packed. No issues whatsoever. One thing nobody mentions: once you buy, suddenly everyone on the ship has an auction story. There's this whole little art community that forms onboard. Genuinely fun. Go for the free drink. See what happens. I sincerely smile every time I see these prices and am so glad and feel cool to say I own fine art. Thanks Park west and thanks especially Ronnie.
