Description:

Located in White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis, The Indiana State Museum is one of Indianapolis’ premier rental facilities. With a wide variety of distinctive spaces available, extraordinary views of downtown Indianapolis and a team to work with you from idea to execution, the museum can transform into a space that is uniquely yours.

>Enjoy cocktails on the terrace overlooking the canal while the sun sets and the city lights up, then step inside the Farmer’s Market Cafe for a relaxing dinner. Ideal for a casual event, Farmer’s Market Cafe is perfect for a combined indoor/outdoor event, a moveable feast or an evening of entertainment and fun.

>Another option is one of Indianapolis’ most unique venues, the Governor Frank and Judy O’Bannon Great Hall, which features a soaring 100-foot ceiling and the 49-foot Indiana Obelisk created by world-renowned Hoosier artist, Robert Indiana.

>The Rapp Reception Hall, another great venue choice, provides dramatic views of the Capitol dome and the downtown Indianapolis skyline.

>Step into the elegance of the past in the L.S. Ayres Tea Room™. A re-creation of the original, the museum’s tea room features reproductions of wall coverings, carpet, draperies and chandeliers as well as original furniture from the restaurant.
