If you love western art this is a must see. Jingle Rails during the holiday season was amazing. The work that goes into putting the exhibit together is mind boggling. This is a small western art museum but well worth a visit.

The "museum" is very small. The art in the galleries on the 1st floor were fine. Clearly talented artists and what not, etc., but that takes maybe 15-20 mins to go through and doesn't hold a candle up to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which is free. So you have to pay for a far less quality attraction.

We went to the Eiteljorg for the guitar exhibit, which runs through this summer and then stayed for the rest of the museum. Really beautiful artwork and a lovely gift shop. We immediately joined as members.
The Eiteljorg Museum is a world class Native American museum in Indianapolis. The authentic architectural design and exhibits are exceptional. You can have lunch in their lovely cafe. It is not to be missed on a trip to downtown Inadianapolis.
I'm not an expert on 'Western Art,' but there is a lot of variety here, and it's well presented. It's a interesting way to spend an hour or so, I'm sure more if you have more than a passing interest.
This collection is carefully chosen and presented clearly. Not cluttered or overwhelming. The Eiteljorg is the perfect size, in a beautiful space. The cafe and shop were also delightful .
Coming from NYC, i had the Easterners skepticism that a midwest museum could be that good.. However, I was not disappointed. The paintings of the old West and native Americans are particularly poignant, and the handicrafts on the second floor: beading, carvings, etched plates, are exquisitely worked. I almost skipped the guitar exhibit, thinking it would be a waste of...

This three story museum is directly across the street from the Fairfield Inn and the JW Marriott hotels. There is a $10 admission for adults and if you are interested in Native American Art and Artifacts, it was well worth it! The art was simply beautiful and there were some interesting artifacts that I had not seen elsewhere. The contrast...

My mother and I visited the Eiteljorg because my grandfather (her father) collected arrowheads, tools and all sorts of Native American artifacts in the Wabash River valley near his home in Williamsport, IN. When he passed away my grandmother sold his collection to the Eiteljorg. We were hoping to see more of his pieces on display, but understand that things...

Well worth your time if you like western art and all things western ! This place has another reason to visit, a wonderful cafe, had a great lunch, large portions, fresh food, prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for here. Don't miss the gift shop, books, shirts, CD's and nice posters of some of the...
