Treat your guests to a visually stimulating experience by hosting your event at the Indiana State Museum. Located in White River State Park, the museum offers a unique venue with incredible architecture and beautiful views. We offer a variety of spaces, ranging from the re-created L.S. Ayres Tea Room to the dramatic Governor Frank O'Bannon Great Hall with its soaring 100-foot ceiling and spectacular views of the Canal and Military Park.
Because we have multiple event spaces, we can accommodate a variety of events, from intimate gatherings to museum-wide buffet receptions for more than 2,000.
Our professional event planners will provide you with the expertise and customer service you need to ensure that your event runs smoothly. Additionally, culinary experts from Centerplate Catering, the museum’s exclusive caterer, provide menu planning for all types of functions from formal breakfasts to buffets, light lunches, and extravagant galas. From the planning stages to execution, our goal is to make your event special!
Any individual, group, organization or corporation may apply to use the facility. Museum use may not be part of a profit or fundraising event unless authorized by the museum’s chief operating officer.
