Give yourself plenty of time to visit. The museum has four floors of exhibits with works ranging from 4,000 year old Chinese earthenware to contemporary experimental art. The museum site includes the mansion and gardens once owned by the Lilly family, founders of the Lilly pharmaceutical company. An additional hundred acres of park with trails and sculptures is located along the west side of the museum grounds. Every things is free except for the large parking lot and garage - $5.00 fee that is waived if you have a membership card.
The museum is accessible but some of the exhibits in cases have labeling that’s hard to see because of the elevation and angle of the label. We ran out of time and didn’t tour the mansion or visit the 100 Acres. Accessibility information is available – here. The mansion gardens are minimally accessible. A very small, accessible “Garden for Everyone” is located to the north of the tree lined mall.
The parking lots do not have long spaces. Small RVs will fit backed up over the landscaped edges. Another small lot is located at the entrance to the 100 Acres. Museum
