Make time for these
The tour runs three times every Saturday, at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., and takes about an hour, walking you through parts of the building you wouldn't get into on your own. The building itself gets called “the world's largest art object,” full of marble, mosaics and gilded trim. It's free and open to all ages, but you need to reserve a spot ahead of time. Pure Detroit's own shop sits right inside the Fisher Building, so that's also where the tour starts.
