Indianapolis is full of great museums. In this video, we'll tour 4 fantastic museums and learn more about what you can see during your visit.
Our first stop is the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. It is the world's largest children's museum, spanning nearly 500,000 square feet over 5 floors of education and amazement, attracting over 1.2 million visitors each year.
CEO Jennifer Robinson takes us through the museum where they go across all disciplines - art, science and humanities. They try to take one topic and delve deeply into it. There is a Treasures of the Earth exhibit which is all about archaeology. They also have a tank where they have underwater marine objects that are being processed and prepared. They have a full-size steam locomotive downstairs. They created a space station in which an astronaut came and visited them saying that he felt like he was back on the ISS. They want to really be on the forefront of what families are interested in. Outside, they have the Treehouse of Sport where they have amazing small sports fields but they've also told the stories of the legends behind the sports. The goal was to have non-competitive play where visitors come out and try different sports. If you have just a few hours or a couple of days, there's plenty to see here.
Our next stop is a spot that celebrates all things small. The Museum of Miniature Houses is a place to experience over 12,000 fine scale miniatures. CEO Suzanne Moffett takes us through the museum. When people visit the museum a lot of people are stunned at the quality and detail of the miniature houses. The materials that are used in the houses are similar to what you would use at your own house, except you have to go extremely small. In your house, if you were to use carpet - here, you would use fabric that is thin, otherwise, it won't look right. Artisans hand make a lot of things and they're gorgeous. You can get mass produced things that look nice, but if the makers are very clever, they will make their own. You can start small and you can finish small the Museum of Miniature Houses.
Next up is a spot that highlights Indianapolis's historic connection to racing, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Director of Communications, Eric Powell takes us through the museum. Located inside the 2 1/2 mile speedway, the one thing that people always say is that they can believe how big it is. The first thing you need to see when you come here is the Borg-Warner Trophy, which has every face of every driver that has won the Indianapolis 500. There's some cool cars to check out as well. The Marmon Wasp which was the inaguraul winner of the Indianapolis 500 and includes the first rear view mirror in the world, which was invented in Indianapolis. The next thing you need to check out is The Basement Collection, there's 2 cars down there that in terms of value are over $100 Million and even more cars to see downstairs then there are upstairs.

From its historical ties to racing to Indianapolis's newest installment, Newfields has become the home of the Lume. It takes 150 projectors to create the 3 dimensional display that allows you to be immersed into the works of Vincent Van Gogh.
With so much to see and experience at these Indianapolis museums, you could spend weeks checking everything out.
