The Indianapolis Museum of Art is among the largest and oldest general art museums in the United States. Founded in 1883, the Museum now boasts a permanent collection of more than 50,000 works of art that span the range and scope of art history.

Recently designated a National Historic Landmark, Oldfields–Lilly House & Gardens is an elegant 26-acre estate and historic house museum located on the grounds of the IMA. At the heart of Oldfields is Lilly House, the 22-room mansion that was once home of J.K. Lilly Jr., the late Indianapolis businessman, collector and philanthropist. Lilly House has undergone historic restoration and is now open to the public. Oldfields' magnificent gardens and grounds were designed in the 1920s by Percival Gallagher of the famous landscape architecture firm Olmsted Brothers.

100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park will be an urban oasis of art and nature on 100 acres located adjacent to the IMA’s main campus in the heart of the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The mission of the Park is to foster experiences among diverse audiences with works of art, the natural landscape and the interaction of art and nature. It is envisioned as a place where visitors will enjoy playful, adventurous, and unexpected encounters with art in nature and nature in art—always changing, always challenging.
