Our first visit to the museum was very enjoyable. We viewed the museum and then saw the Van Gogh immersion show. Both were excellent. We walked into the garden area and toured the Lilly House. It was a pleasant treat. We recommend the museum and hope to visit again.

A great Museum for the whole Family, especially there van Gogh exhibition is something you have to see. But also, all other areas a nice and good. You would have to plan a whole day if you also want to explore the beautiful Garden.

Definitely a place to explore, but make sure you have plenty of time. There are a lot of things to see. There are four floors. I was finally able to see the van Gogh experience The Lume. I barely tapped into the massive garden area. Special $.25 to enter the museum and around $25 for the van Gogh experience. There’s a very large café and shop. I bought two books for the grands. I paid five dollars more than they were on Amazon. So there’s that option. Also, outside the loom on the fourth floor, there were a lot of gifts from the van Gogh experience. Coffee mugs, tea mugs, water bottles, pouches, t shirts, etc. some very gorgeous items. The museum is only open until four today, which was a Saturday. Free parking, and the restrooms were very clean and spacious. They allow the backpack purses but you have to put them on the front of you instead of your back.

I have so much to explore, but I will say the galleries are all amazing and the workers are friendly. It's clean and the immersive displays are completely worth the money. I've seen Van Gogh and will be seeing Dali this April. Can't wait for summer so I can try the Summer Nights Film Series. IMO the membership is also worth the price.

The Indianapolis Museum of Art collection is housed in a beautiful space that is open, large, and very easy to navigate. Many people like the Lume, which is an interactive exhibit now exploring the work of Salvador Dali. We enjoyed the very strong collections of nonWestern, modernism and contemporary art. Superb collection that is quite large... if you want to see everything, plan on several hours. The museum is located at Newfields, offering large gardens in which you stroll during your visit.

This review is limited to Fine Art. Newfields takes a less common approach to art by hanging things related by themes instead of time. Thus I found myself in a “portrait room” that compared portraits from 500 years ago with others that were more recent. Another room examined the female form and its’ differences in difference cultures and it had 5 or 6 nudes showing the “idealized form” isn’t the same around the world. Another room hung two massive works of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem but they were created centuries apart. These juxtapositions make Newfields so unique and fun! The quality of work here rivals any museum in the country. American master Tarbell, Benson, Chase and Sargent all have fabulous works here. Ossawa Tanner has a stunning work of 2 apostles. Gauguin’s Christmas night with the oxen is unlike any other work I’ve seen him do and I loved it. Hopper has a wonderful image here. Making life easier on the art lover, they have light chairs that you can move around and rest while enjoying your favorite view. Newfields really did things well. This museum is equal to Cleveland and Detroit. Incredible art. I only with they had more postcards of their collection in the gift shop. I would have bought so many.
