Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art

The Eiteljorg Museum is an art museum in Indianapolis that houses collections by Native American artists and those depicting Western subjects. The galleries display paintings, sculptures, and other works across different spaces.

A businessman collected art over many years before opening this institution in 1989. Since its founding, it has served as a home for these collections.

The museum displays work by Native American artists today, showing how they tell their own stories through their creations. You can see how traditional art forms connect with contemporary approaches.

The museum is located within White River State Park and offers free parking for visitors. Opening hours vary depending on the day of the week, so it's worth checking ahead.

The museum features work by two Western artists whose paintings and bronze sculptures show scenes from frontier life. These collections form a major part of the display.
