Mustaches (Real or fake) Get in Free at Detroit Institute of Arts Aug. 3-5

  • July 27, 2012

The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is offering free museum admission to any visitor who wears a mustache—real or fake—from Friday, Aug. 3 to Sunday, Aug. 5 during regular museum hours. The promotion celebrates the eccentric appearance of Salvador Dalí, whose painting—Soft Construction with Boiled Beans—is currently on view in the DIA’s exhibition Five Spanish Masterpieces.

That weekend, visitors can enjoy a variety of museum programs, including The Dalí Project—a puppet performance that explores Dalí’s embrace of the subconscious through various forms of puppetry—presented by Puppet Junction. 

Note: Performances on Friday and Saturday are appropriate for adults only; Sunday’s performance is appropriate for ages eight and up.

This offer is good for one general museum admission and cannot be combined with any other discounts. The Dali Project is made possible through a generous contribution from Groupon.
