The link goes to the Detroit Institute of Arts website where they have an interactive exploration of Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals.

I have been going to the DIA with family, friends and Hubskiers for years. You can't help but marvel at Rivera's murals while there and you also can't help but feeling the very real manufacturing bones that Detroit was built upon. It's everywhere. In the decrepit buildings, the weathered faces of old factory workers, even the science museum has exhibits dedicated to manufacturing, steel fabrication and the production line. Detroit is a special place with a very unique history, much of which is captured in these murals.

The two main panels on the North and South walls depict laborers working at Ford Motor Company's River Rouge Plant. Other panels depict advances made in various scientific fields, such as medicine and new technology. The series of murals, taken as a whole, represents the idea that all actions and ideas are one.
