What a gorgeous museum! This was my first time there and we went to the IMAX which is housed in the museum. Wonderful displays and while we were waiting for the movie to start, we walked outside and we were on the downtown cultural trail on the canal---beautiful!!

This museum houses many options for your interest. I have been to many movies at the IMAX and it is an awesome movie going experience. They also have the Ayres Tea Room there and it brings back many memories from time with my mother and grandmother being dragged to this place.

We love the state museum and have on and off been members, but had never been to their IMAX before. We've been to several others, but this one is the bomb! It is steeper seating, and a smaller auditorium so that you are practically IN the movie. We saw a 3-D movie and it was one of our best IMAX... More

This museau has something for all including the kids and grandparents. Parking is below ground next to the venue. Great view of the canal and Military Park from the indoor cafe. Of course, the theme is Indiana history, commerce, culture and the land.

WOW....extremely well done..... $9 to get in...... loved the Indiana history section and the Lincoln artifacts. There are three museums in a row...... easy to walk to all three...... (NCAA Hall of Champions and the Eiteljorg are on each side of the ISM) Highly recommend !!!!

Displays included local minerals, fossils & bones of mastodons and other ancient creatures, as well as many artifacts & antiques from all the historic eras and information on famous Hoosiers.

My girlfriend and I spent the day here on a Saturday. We both had a really good time, and thought the museum was a great value, with the IMAX ticket to see Lincoln.

a great variety of exhibits at this museum, the IMAX theater is fantastic.Plenty to see and do for any visitor of any age. Want to go back now to see the mastodon exhibit and new exhibits added since our last visit.
