Nice little museum. They are undergoing a huge renovation. Will likely be 5 stars when done
This museum is updating a lot of areas. Nice setup to view your child's art and more.
Cute little stop on our drive through Indiana. They had a Renoir on loan and curated a little exhibition of Hoosier school artists to go along with it, but the permanent collection was really lovely. Free entry, docents were so friendly and helpful.
It was a lovely visit. Stopped in with my young kids who have an interest in art. We were able to enjoy each piece, and get some inspiration for our own projects.
Amazing find! I love that this museum has a wonderful display of Indiana artists. Definitely take an hour and stop in. Take a moment to enjoy art history and inspiration.
It’s free so the price is definitely right! This isn’t a huge collection, but for a small town it’s impressive. There’s some famous works here including a Andy Warhol and Edward Hopper. If you’re in town and an art fan it’s a no brainer to check this out. For most people I’d assume you’ll spend maybe a half an hour to an hour here.
Lovely little museum in Terre Haute, IN. A must see. Friendly staff and patrons. Thanks to locals Phil and David for their welcome and impromptu tour.
