The City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2013, putting the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), owned by the city, at possible risk. Would the sale of the art be legal, let alone wise or moral; would it put more than a dent in the city's debt? Join us as the current director of the DIA, two former museum directors, and a legal advisor to the DIA address the issues surrounding this alarming situation.
