Six original reproductions of fine art dating as far back as the 16th century can be seen in some of the most unlikely places throughout Trenton.
One of the first questions on some residents' minds when they saw a beautiful work of art hanging outside Trenton City Hall Tuesday morning was whether the elements would destroy the painting.

Trenton is one of 29 Michigan communities to be selected for the program and rest assured all the pieces of art are reproductions, but residents can visit the actual works of art and many others at the DIA for free on August 19. Residents can show their driver's license for free admission to the museum. Six pieces of fine art will be on display at city hall, the police …
