About

A Little Bit About the EiteljorgThe Eiteljorg has been telling amazing stories for three decades.How The Eiteljorg Was Founded: Indianapolis businessman and philanthropist Harrison Eiteljorg and other civic leaders founded the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. From the museum’s opening in 1989, its mission has been to inspire an appreciation and understanding of the art, history, and cultures of the Indigenous peoples of North America and of the American West. The museum carries out this focus in exciting and often surprising ways.The Art: The Eiteljorg collects, conserves, and exhibits outstanding Indigenous and Western art and cultural objects. The museum’s collection includes artists such as T.C. Cannon, N. C. Wyeth, Andy Warhol, Georgia O’Keeffe, Allan Houser, Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, and Kay WalkingStick. The institution’s contemporary Native American art collection has been ranked among the best in the world.What Sets Us Apart: The Eiteljorg Museum is the only museum of its kind in the Midwest, and one of only two museums east of the Mississippi that explore both Native America and the American West. Renowned programs such as the Indian Market and Festival, Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship, and the Quest for the West® Art Show and Sale have helped the museum cultivate a national reputation as a premiere cultural institution.
