Indianapolis Museum of Art

 We finally made it to the Indianapolis Museum of Art!  Finally!

The first comment as we drove into the parking lot was from Tanner--"It's big!".  And it is!  Wow is it big!

The grounds are big!  --We had our lunch outside, but it was too hot (90+) to go exploring.  We'll have to go back to see some of the sculptures and art outside.

The building is big!  The doors are huge and pivot a foot in from the edge (random, but cool!)  Most of the rooms are spacious, allowing plenty of room to stand back and observe.  It was great!

 These photos are about half of our collection from the trip.  (The others are on another camera...).  Some of the best exhibits were ones that we couldn't photograph. 

The one that stretched our collective brains the best was a grey rectangle on a wall in a low-light situation.  At least we thought is was a grey rectangle on a wall until we put our hands through the "painting".  Talk about messing with what we think we see!

 These lenses on a string were fascinating.  Each lens is just a clear disc with concentric lines etched in them (remember vinyl records?  Imagine a clear, record with the lines in it).  From the side, they looked like discs.  From the front, they looked like water droplets, or hard rock candy, or icicles.

Summer Shoes

Grandma & Grandpa sent a fun package for the kids...flip flops and decorations!  Hooray for summer time shoes!
