Great learning opportunity through fabulous exhibits and speakers programs!!
Back at the Lorenzo Cultural Center (on the Macomb Community College main campus) for the first time in several years. They are known for mounting fabulous exhibitions around a Michigan theme and offering a series of programs covering topics relating to the exhibition. Currently the Creative Michigan: Making the Mitten Modern exhibition is running through April 29. Each week there are several programs scheduled. Most of the speakers are local historians or educators, all well-versed in the subject they are presenting. Free admission for all. Registration (online) requested for the programs. Free parking in an adjacent lot. With all that, you can't go wrong in attending one or more programs each week. Check their website for current offerings.

Local Semi-Museum
This building was originally the Student Union and an office building for Macomb Community College. When they built a new, larger Student Union because of a growing student enrollment, they converted this building into a museum type of facility They chose to rotate the displays to cover various subjects of interest to the community rather than having fixed displays that are always the same as in typical museums. It is large enough to provide very interesting displays. Topics as varied as The Roaring 20s, auto manufacturers or World War II and its impact on Macomb County are rotated every few months. Because of the rotating displays, you could visit every few months and always see something new. The building is connected to the Macomb Center and so it is a good place to visit before or after seeing a show.
