EITELJORG MUSEUM OF AMERICAN INDIANS AND WESTERN ART

500 W. Washington St., Indianapolis | eiteljorg.org

One of only two museums east of the Mississippi dedicated to both Native American and Western art, the Eiteljorg holds a world-class collection spanning historic and contemporary works. Highlights include paintings and bronzes by Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Albert Bierstadt, alongside a celebrated collection of contemporary Native American art. The reimagined second-floor galleries present Indigenous stories — in the words of Native peoples themselves — organized around the themes of relation, continuation, and innovation.

Senior admission (65+): $16

INDIANA STATE MUSEUM

650 W. Washington St., Indianapolis | indianamuseum.org/visit

Steps from the Eiteljorg, Indiana's flagship state museum traces four billion years of natural history, art, science, and culture through a Hoosier lens. Three floors of exhibits journey from prehistoric life and glaciers through the Civil War era, the Jazz Age, and into the present day. An on-site IMAX theater (separate admission) adds an extra option for the afternoon.
