Martin OvandoMarch 22, 2016Incredible museum! A MUST if you visit Indy, also remember to visit the Lily House before 5pm. A whole day is needed to visit both the museum and the gardens!
Marcus WakalaMarch 5, 2018It's wonderful. The 2nd floor houses the American and European galleries among others. The African gallery and the Asian gallery are on the 3rd floor. But the 4th floor has two of my favorite pieces.- Mike MollicaSeptember 15, 2015Despite all of the tips that claim "free admission", they now charge $18 admission. Big difference.
Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA)October 24, 2013We are open until 9 pm today! At 7 pm, Nancy Ramage, great-great niece of Claribel & Etta Cone, will talk about her aunts and their amazing art collection, including many of the Matisses on exhibit. Read more

- Maria AlvizJune 8, 2018Want to check out art in the city? Head over to the IMA! A great place to spend the day. Free for kids 5 and under!
You have to check backpacks, but if you're using it as a diaper bag, you can take it in if you wear it across your chest. Also, kids are not allowed to ride on parents' shoulders in the galleries.
Emin DEDEDecember 25, 2011I saw so many very good museums so far and this museum is literally fantastic one. There are a lot of exhibits and marvelous art works there.
HISTORYJuly 15, 2010The Museum first opened to the public in 1906 under the John Herron Art Institute & was later moved here to its permanent residence in1910 where more than 5000 residents came out for the opening night
Great art museum especially in the summer, good exhibits and a good permanent collection

Carolina PokidayloMay 3, 2013A truly incredible museum. Very impressive. Free entry and parking further out. Currently have the Ai Weiwei exhibit.
It's an excellent place to spend weekends. Every time I come I will see a lot of different stuffs. Amazing.- Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA)October 17, 2013We are open until 9 pm today! On a dark, dreary, rainy day like today, why not surround yourself by the bright, bold colors of Matisse! http://ima.tc/hh
Nate BullockAugust 29, 2011I've taken my daughter here on a number of occasions. I've takes dates here on a number of occasions. A great spot for all occasions.
If you look like a professional photographer, they *will* make you put your gear away. They now require a $50/day or $400/year pass to be a pro... and they *do* check.
Hannah FoxSeptember 18, 2013The trail in the 100 acres is a little over grown but it was a fun location for a 1st date.
Parking in the main lot and garage is $5 for the public, free for members. The north lot and outlying lots are still free.
Jason JohnsonMarch 9, 2013Park at the Lilly House for free and enjoy the beautiful walk to the main museum.
The grounds are beautiful, great place for a picnic! LOTS of photographers and families/students/couples taking advantage of the photo ops, too.
Eric AndersonJune 20, 2012Beautiful place to hold a meeting, team building event or networking function. The catering is awesome!

New RadarFebruary 23, 2011Great inexpensive date spot. It's FREE! If you run out of things to talk about by the end of the date...
Tom FawbushJune 12, 2010Don't bother trying to sneak wine in. They have it inside and will check your bag. A bottle is $28 which is pretty much what you'd pay at a restaurant. Tonight's movie is Revel Without a Cause.
Stephanie LoweJune 15, 2010One of my favorite museums in the city. I love the Lilly estate, contemporary collection and Happy Hours!
Aaron SherrickDecember 16, 2011Photographers: Don't forget to review the photography policy @ http://www.imamuseum.org/visit/information/photography-policy

Rainy day? You don't even need to bring an umbrella if you use the FREE underground parking garage!
