Newfields

I visited the Newfields art museum in the wintertime, but it was still very impressive. Since I was there on a weekday, I had many of the exhibits to myself and was able to thoroughly enjoy them without dealing with crowds. They have a great and varied assortment of art, and it’s in a very nice space. I loved their Seurat painting, and their Asian art exhibit was delightful. I know they have some beautiful gardens and outdoors exhibits when the weather is nicer, so I’ll have to visit again in the summertime. This is quite an amazing asset for Indianapolis and is a destination for anyone interested in art.

We had an amazing time at Newfields Winterlights this season! ✨❄️ The light displays were absolutely magical — everywhere you looked felt bright, colorful, and full of holiday spirit. It truly created such a festive and joyful atmosphere that instantly put us in the seasonal mood 🎄🌟. While we were there, I grabbed a hot cider inside and it was so delicious and comforting 🍎☕ — perfect for walking around in the chilly weather. They also offer a wide variety of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy 🍷🥤. Parking was super convenient too. There were plenty of free spots available in the main lot, or you can pay $20 for a closer parking option if you prefer 🚗👍. Overall, it’s definitely a must-see event if you’re in Indiana during the holidays. Such a fun and memorable experience! 💖✨

The orchid displays inside the museum were gorgeous, perfect for a photo op! Opportunities to purchase orchids inside the gift shop, and many other beautiful gifts available. More orchids and other tropical and desert plants inside the greenhouses, such an amazing variety! These should not be missed while on display this time of year! Please note, the entrance to the greenhouses is a bit hidden, it's back next to the Lilly House, in the area of the gardens that are under construction, looking as though the whole area is fenced off. Enjoy!

We went to the Winterlights tonight and it was great. I was surprised at how much there was to see there. We were able to hang out for a long time, we even made and ate some s'mores. The lights were beautiful, and I'm glad that we went a little on the early side. Just be aware parking is difficult and you may have to park at the church across the street or even Butler. Other than that it was a fabulous experience.

Love this place. So much good art, fantastic experience, activities. Admission is fairly priced, the food and drinks are a bit marked up as is standard for places like this, but come prepared and you will always have a wonderful experience here. The Lume has ALWAYS been worth the money, highly recommend it as an add on to your trip.

I didn't know what to expect and just really loved the museum. I can tell that they've made an admirable effort to include underrepresented artists. I also loved all of the pairings of different art pieces so that I could really think about the pieces and notice new things. This museum is also perfect for children! What an amazing job they've done at helping students cultivate an interest and connect with art. I also had lunch and visited the gift shop and would recommend both.
