Indianapolis metro area has 24 museums, the largest children's museum in the country, a fine art museum that has an enormous endowment, and one of the premier living history museums in the US. Indianapolis also has a vibrant economy and has one awards for it's extremely clean environment. Whoever distains an opportunity to get a foot in the door of a fine and well supported institution like the Indiana Historical Society which is situated in a city large enough to give that much to cultural institutions without the big city neurosis and filth is an utter idiot!
