I have visited· I would like to visit

bat400 visited on 1st Feb 2014 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Not an anthropology museum per se, and fairly pricey if your only interest are the galleries on the first people who lived in this region between the last Ice Age and European-contact. However, if you were flying into Indianapolis to visit the area, the collection would be a good introduction prior to visiting sites like Angel Mounds, Mounds State Park and particularly, other smaller locations without on site information. Other galleries are more spectacular, including the collection of early marine life forms preserved in the extensive limestone deposits of Indiana.

Museum in Marion County, Indiana.
The museum covers Indiana Natural, Social, and Political History in modern building in the capitol's city center.

The exhibits are laid out chronologically with geologic and early life forms covered on the first floor, with galleries leading from the fossils of the Carboniferous and Devonia periods on to the Ige Age Megafauna. With the Ice Age are galleries devoted to the first peoples of Indiana and their material culture up to the Contact period. Galleries on the second floor cover historic periods.

The Museum hours are:
Monday - Saturday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Sunday: 11 a.m. – 5 p.m

Their website provides more information. Please note the admission fees; however, a visitor here who is also seeing to other historic sites in the state, including Angel Mounds, would be covered by a membership to the Indiana Historical Society.
