Hellenic Museum of Michigan

The Hellenic Museum of Michigan purportedly features a collection of pottery, textiles, instruments and a variety of other Hellenic art and traditions. They invite the public to share the richness of the heritage and conserve the contributions of this culture through the arts.nnThat’s all well and good but the hours are severely limited.  The building is located on a street that is snug within the ‘Museum District’.  Not having been able to access the interior of this museum to muse over their collection (which I have attempted on several occasions) I am only left to provide you with a review of the exterior until such as time as I can get inside.nnThe building is beautiful.  It is classic Americana.  Its original inhabitants included a young man who invented a machine for putting powder and liquids in gel capsules.  He became extraordinarily rich and moved away.  I don’t believe there is anything else at that location that provides more information about that very interesting topic.  The machines that were first invented, apparently, have been used around the world.nnIn any case, it’s a nice building.  When I get inside I’ll tell you more.  The parking is on the street and you have to pay a fee.  The place is open on Sunday from 1 to 5 pm and sometimes by appointment.   It is my personal opinion that this particular museum might be better suited elsewhere.  It’s a nice idea but it doesn’t appear very useful.

This building use to be a part of the Ethnic Festival. Located near other historic buildings as well. I'll give it two thumbs up ud83dude03ud83dudc4f

Nice that it's also near the Detriot Insitute of Art.
