I'm going to Detroit/Ann Arbor next week.  Any woodworking-related stuff I should check out?  I'm also into art and architecture.  I've been to DIA several times, but I've never been to Cranbrook.  Worth seeing?
 
It’s not woodworking related but if you have never been to the Henry Ford or Greenfield Village you should not miss it. If you go be sure to wear your most comfortable shoes😊!

So true.  I went there once and wish I had had more time.
 
Just as a follow-up: I didn't find any woodworking-specific attractions, but here a few pictures of some woodworking around Cranbrook and in the Saarinen House.  It's a pretty cool area--I'll have to go back and explore when I have more time.

Interesting table leaves: remove the perimeter leaves and replace with larger ones for a bigger table surface:
