Founded by collector Harrison Eiteljorg, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art contains one of the world's finest Native American and Western Art collections (according to no lesser an authority than True West magazine), and is one of only two such museums east of the Mississippi.

Artwork includes traditional and contemporary pieces by such artists as T.C. Cannon; N.C. Wyeth; Andy Warhol (neither a Native American nor particularly Western, but let's not look a gift horse in the mouth); Georgia O'Keeffe; Allan Houser; Frederic Remington; Charles Russell and Kay WalkingStick. When the weather is obliging, the museum's Sky City Cafe offers visitors an opportunity to dine al fresco, overlooking White River State Park's scenic Central Canal.
