Detroit has always had a thriving music culture, from the birth of Motown through to the current techno revival. However, Detroit's art scene also thrives, with the most theatre seats in the country bar New York, and regular music and dance performances.

The cornerstone of Detroit arts is the Fox Theatre, 2211 Woodward Avenue (tel: (313) 471 3200; website: www.olympiaentertainment.com), the second largest theatre in the US. The Fisher Theatre, 3011 West Grand Boulevard (tel: (313) 872 1000; website: www.nederlanderdetroit.com), plays host to New York comedies and Broadway productions. Another excellent cultural institution is the Detroit Opera House, 1526 Broadway (tel: (313) 961 3500; website: www.motopera.org), which hosts opera, dance and musicals from the Michigan Opera Theatre and beyond.

Detroit has a plethora of cinemas, but the finest may well be the AMC Star Southfield, 25333 West 12 Mile Road (tel: (248) 368 1802; website: www.amctheatres.com), which has a Motown-themed lobby and stadium-style seating for a unique experience. For art house cinema, try the Detroit Institute of Arts, 5200 Woodward Avenue, (313) 833 7900; website: www.dia.org).
