MAKE INFORMAL LIFELONG LEARNING POSSIBLE

The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites relies on the generosity of individuals like YOU—passionate people who share our belief in the power of informal lifelong learning. While our 12-location museum system receives funding from the state, it is our vibrant support community that fuels our mission-driven work to develop dynamic and immersive visitor experiences that engage all ages.

Make a Gift

Together with your support, we continue to enhance our visitor experiences and cultivate a sense of wonder through discovery and exploration. Your gift fosters the minds of young scientists in our R. B. Annis Naturalist’s Lab, ignites imaginations in our Creativity Studio, uncovers history through paleontological digs and preserves Indiana pop culture. Above all, it inspires lifelong learning that connects the stories of real people, places and things, while stimulating big discussions about past and current topics. Your gift is 100% tax-deductible.
