The Dayton Art Institute

The collection at the Dayton Art Institute is absolutely enormous. It features more than 27,000 specimens that span more than 5,000 years of history. The museum is, of course, unable to display all of these pieces at one time; you can usually find about 1,000 objects on display, giving a unique experience each time you go..

The Institute is divided into three primary sections. These are the Patterson-Kettering Wing of Asian Art, the Dicke Wing of American Art, and the Berry Wing of European Art. This is not to say that the gallery does not have art from other traditions. It also features:

• Ancient Art
• African Art
• Oceanic Art
• Ancient American Art
• Native American Art
• Photography
• Glasswork
• Sculpture

Front Street

It plays host to shops that deal in wares beyond art, such as vintage clothing, tropical fish, barware, and more.
