Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art
Eiteljorg Museum
The only museum in the American Midwest focused on both Native American and Western art, with a building inspired by adobe architecture of the Southwest.
The Eiteljorg Museum opened in 1989. It sits inside White River State Park, beside the canal, and its building takes inspiration from the adobe architecture of the American Southwest. The collection includes traditional and contemporary Native American art, pottery, basketry and clothing, along with paintings and sculptures of the American West, including works by Remington, Russell and the Taos School. The biennial Contemporary Native American Art Awards exhibition is highly regarded. Admission is about $20, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours. It can be combined with the State Museum and the Central Canal walk.
