The Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University is a resource for research and learning with original works of art. We engage diverse audiences throughout Indiana and create a welcoming environment for all.
With four specialized centers and technology-equipped learning spaces throughout the museum, we are dedicated to engaging students, faculty, artists, scholars, alumni, and the wider public through the cultivation of new ideas and scholarship.
Completed in 1982, our iconic I. M. Pei–designed building stands out against the traditional limestone structures on the rest of the IU Bloomington campus. From its triangular shape to the concrete-and-glass materials, the building is a work of art in itself. Originally home to both the museum's galleries and collection storage, as well as the Fine Arts Library, a landmark gift from Sidney and Lois Eskenazi in 2015 allowed for a full renovation and update. Today the building features seven galleries, numerous educational spaces, a conservation analytical laboratory, and a café and gift shop. Learn about our building's construction and renovation.
Opportunities exist for the rental of various spaces within the Eskenazi Museum for events that align with the mission of the Eskenazi Museum and/or the Indiana University community. We are proud to partner with the IU Auditorium to provide event booking, planning, and management services.
