As a child growing up in metro Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s, Curtis Chin watched the world go by from an unusual vantage point.

Season 6 – Episode 4: How the DIA Turned From a Private Art Collection Into a World-Renowned Museum
Here’s where Detroit was, art-wise, in 1917: A middling art museum on the east edge of downtown Detroit, with little to attract notice.

The place was pretty much abandoned a few decades ago, but a local preservation group...
