Eiteljorg Museum

A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves in Indianapolis, Indiana with some time to kill and decided to visit the Eiteljorg Museum. We had never visited here before so it was a great opportunity to learn more about the native peoples in North America. From the website, the museum:

"The Eiteljorg tells the stories of the peoples of North America in all their diversity and complexity. It’s a place for historical context, artistic expression, new ideas and individual perspectives. Here, visitors immerse themselves in the diverse cultures of the West and Native America, and sharing these amazing American stories is what we do at the Eiteljorg."
 
We had a great visit. I particularly enjoyed the art. My kids had the most fun touring the temporary train exhibit. There were toy trains moving on tracks around different U.S. landmarks. It was very impressive, as were all the exhibits.
 
Admission to this museum is very reasonable. It was $46 dollars for two adults and two kids (and your parking is validated, costing $0), although on the day we were there, they were having a membership special. Buy a family membership for $45 that gets you free admission for a year. Um, a no-brainer of a decision! Plus this membership gets you into other museums at a free or reduced rate. So even if the membership deal is not on special, it has the chance to be a great deal.
 
Definitely check out the Eiteljorg Museum in downtown Indianapolis! A very educational and fun visit for you and your kids.
