Visit the Dossin Great Lakes Museum before it closes for renovation

The Belle Isle-based museum may not be part of Noel Night's festivities, but this weekend is the final chance visitors have to see the memorabilia inside, as it stands, before the Dossin Great Lakes Museum temporarily closes for renovation.

After Dec. 2, the museum will undergo five months of renovations to create a new core exhibit – Built by the River – which will highlight the ways in which Detroiters have relied upon the river and lakes around us.
