Indiana Story Galleries

When you visit the Indiana State Museum, you'll follow the Indiana Story from the Birth of the Earth to a look at Tomorrow's Indiana.  The museum's Core Galleries on all three floors use a mixture of artifacts, models and interactives to chronicle 10 chapters in the history of the Hoosier State.  You'll stand in the middle of a a limestone quarry, make your own earthquake and even smell smells from Pioneer Indiana! 

Use the sliding galleries above to take a closer look all of the chapters in the Indiana Story.

And when you visit, be sure to pick up an Museum Passport to trace your path through the galleries.
