Before we left Indy, we spent a few hours at the Eiteljorg Museum in downtown. It's dedicated to Native American and Western art and artifacts. Of course, we went fairly quickly through the art because we didn't have a stroller and Camden wasn't thrilled about slowing down to look at pictures. But all of us loved the one of the buffalo in the water.
They also were featuring, "Jingle Rails," a miniature train display of places across America, lit up with Christmas decorations. The downtown Indy and Monument Circle was very cool!
We also liked Mt. Rushmore.
Downstairs was a hands-on kids section. Camden liked exploring the home office and the old storefront.
Another special display was the "Art en la Charreria" or the art of the Mexican Equestrian Culture. Camden liked that they had a stage where you could try on a few dresses. There weren't many children's sizes, but she did her best twirling in a too huge one.
Surprisingly the one section of art that she was willing to get down to walk and explore was the modern art section. She really liked the pieces hanging down and the colorful displays.
The final area also had a few hands on pieces where Camden could "weave" and explore and build a tepee.
One final picture outside by the deer in front of the museum.
