The Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) is truly one of our city's best and brightest gems. Under the direction of CEO Maxwell Anderson, the IMA did away with admission fees in the past year, which has made this great venue more accessible and enjoyable for all Indy residents and visitors. Whether you are 8 or 88, you'll enjoy strolling through the various galleries, walking around the beautiful and spacious grounds and learning about the past in one of the special exhibits. Our family took advantage of the opportunity to see the Roman Exhibit, straight from the Louvre, on a recent visit. At $30 for two adults and a child, this special exhibit is a bargain you can't beat! Our daughter loved seeing the Roman sculptures up close, analyzing the hairstyles of the day, learning about the history and culture of the people who lived during this time, and oohing and aahing over the fine jewelry that has been remarkably preserved over the years. Whether you are a resident or visitor, the IMA is a perfect place to spend a day, and presents an outstanding picnic spot during nice weather. We enjoyed our visit so much that we opted to purchase a family membership so that we can return throughout the year, and have the opportunity to visit the special exhibits at no additional cost. Pack up your children and their sketch pads, soak up some culture and enjoy your visit to the Indianapolis Museum of Art!
