Scarab Club, Art museum in Cultural Center Historic District, Detroit, United States.
The Scarab Club houses art galleries, studios, and meeting spaces within a historic building near the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Founded in 1907 as the Hopkin Club by marine painter Robert Hopkin, the institution moved to its current Arts and Crafts style building in 1928.
The ceiling beams in the lounge display signatures from visiting artists, creating a physical record of the museum's connections to the art world.
Members can access six working art studios, exhibition spaces, and participate in regular art events throughout the calendar year.
The building features decorative elements from Pewabic Pottery and a mosaic tile exterior designed by junior member Edgar Yaeger in the 1980s.
