Eiteljorg Museum of Native Americans and Western Art

The Eiteljorg Museum of Native Americans and Western Art is located where I didn't expect it to be. I don't know why it surprises me that it's in Indianapolis, Indiana. I assumed it was in the Southwestern part of the United States. But, now that I've typed out Indianapolis, Indiana, and see how the word Indian appears twice, I think, well that's fitting. According to the Web site, the museum is one of the only two museums east of the Mississipi River to focus on Native American art. Contemporary art and Western culture and history are part of the museum's focus. Georgia O'Keefe, Andy Warhol and Charles Russell's work, among other notable artists are included in the collection

Here's a video tour of the contemporary art exhibit with a commentary--just another reason to head to Indianapolis. This weekend is the WestFest, a family day of cowboys, entertainment, art and food.
