Detroit -- Money problems have forced the Detroit Institute of Arts to cancel three scheduled exhibitions.
A major show, "Baroque 1620-1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence," organized by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, had been booked for the Detroit museum this fall. But the DIA said it couldn't shoulder the added financial burden after the exhibit's only other North American venue dropped out.
According to reports, the DIA's shaky finances and Michigan's struggling economy also prompted the cancellations of a print show devoted to Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Jim Dine and a show of prints and drawings related to books.
