Indiana’s attractions exceed corn and soy beans

Indiana can seem dull, but it does have a few high points. I know in my last column I advocated getting out of Indiana and jetting off to some exotic location, but there are some options for those who may lack the necessary funds to go abroad.

For those on a budget, the Indianapolis Museum of Art offers free admission. The museum features a growing contemporary collection as well as an interesting textile collection. For example, there is an exhibit on fashion through the ages that showcases centuries-old styles. The museum’s collection is small, but you cannot beat the price. When the weather is warm, visitors to the museum can enjoy the beautiful gardens surrounding the museum.

Northwest Indiana is the place to go for people who like to learn how things are made. Munster is home to Three Floyds Brewpub. Beer enthusiasts can embark on a tour of the brewery and then enjoy the product at the pub, which has good food and a laid-back atmosphere.
