Indiana State Museum

Nominated for: BEST Museum

Indiana State Museum 650 W Washington St Indianapolis IN (317) 232-1637

This world-class institution is three floors full of surprises. Each one is filled with enough art, science, history, and culture to leave you amazed at the things you never knew about the state Hoosiers call home.
Mastodonts, a 1927 Stuz four-door sedan, a Foucault pendulum, and a 17-foot tall steam clock all can be found here, and all are part of the Indiana story. With exhibits covering the Ice Age to the 21st century, the museum is an eclectic, exciting adventure into the past, present, and future of Indiana. With frequent rotations of artifacts from its collection and ever-changing special exhibits, it offers a different experience each time you visit.

The beautiful building is reason alone to visit, with the 92-County sculptures on the outside, but inside is full of science, history, and art of the state. Nice day!
