MUSEUM HOPPING IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT

MOTOR CITY WHEELCHAIR MOBILITY


Only a few Q-stops away is the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.

Housed in a 22,000-square-foot, low-rise industrial building designed by Architect Albert Kahn to be an auto dealership, the museum offers a rotating selection of modern art and hosts a diverse array of events and guests.

As a wheelchair user with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Emily Obert is supremely qualified to comment on the building’s accessibility.

“I’m biased, because I got married there, but they really did a great job on the one-level entrance — not a segregated accessible entrance — and the open space is great for access,” says Obert, a T6-7 paraplegic.
