About:
The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) is a museum of fine arts in Dayton, Ohio, United States. The Dayton Art Institute was rated one of the top 10 best art museums in the United States for kids.[2] The museum also ranks in the top 3% of all art museums in North America in 3 of 4 factors.[3] In 2007, the art institute saw 303,834 visitors.[4]
Founded in a downtown mansion in 1919 as the Dayton Museum of Fine Arts, the museum moved to a newly designed Edward B. Green building in 1930. The DAI was modeled after the Casino in the gardens of the Villa Farnese at Caprarola, and the front hillside stairway after the Italian Renaissance garden stairs at the Villa d’Este, near Rome, and Italy. It is also visible from and easily accessible from I-75, which passes through the center of Dayton.[5]
The museum was later renamed the Dayton Art Institute as an indication of the growing importance of its school in addition to the museum. The nearly 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
