Fairly average collection but a lovely building with outstanding grounds. Make time to walk the pathways through the estate. Good gift shop in the museum and a second one in the gardens. more

My husband and I were in Indy for a one-night stay and decided to make a trip to the museum before heading home. We were pleased that there was no admission price (though we did add to the donation box on the way out). We spent about three hours there and made it through about a third of the museum.... more

Free Admission, free parking (surface or underground) and they allow photography, what more could you ask for in an art museum? The Indianapolis Museum of Art recently expanded and the results are stunning. A large, free flowing museum, with plenty of room to explore the art work. Photography is not allowed on the 3rd floor where all the modern art... more

We toured the European Art and American Art sections before walking along the... more

Not only is the museum free, but so is the Lilly home which is on the museum grounds. You can tour the home and its lovely landscaped grounds after visiting this very large museum. Make sure you have lots of time to look around. more

Since admission is free (except to the special exhibits), it's a nice place to spend an afternoon now and then. Do not forget to visit the... more

The place is very big. No admission fee. It is a gem for Indianapolis. The displays are wonderful. Many different kinds of art. From paintings to middle eastern rugs. A huge display of Asian art. The grounds are very nice and maintained. more

I have only visited the museum twice but have loved it both times!! The museum and parking is free, and you can't beat that! Inside, the contemporary section of the museum is one of the best I have ever seen. The glass 'floor' (which you can walk on!) and Turrell's artwork (dark room area) are exceptional. Also, in the European... more

What a wonderful museum. I visited on a Saturday morning (it opens at 11:00 am)....and the price was FREE!!. I arrived a little early and the cafe was open to enjoy a warm cup of coffee on a chilly/rainy morning. Stunning artwork displayed within and outside the grounds. Museum employees available to give insight to the artwork, or you could... more
