2. EITELJORG MUSEUM
(Indianapolis, IN)
Indiana has produced its share of Western figures, good (bootmaker John J. Justin) and bad (the train-robbing Reno brothers). But its biggest claim might be as home to an outstanding collection of Native American and Western art. The permanent exhibition "Attitudes: The West in American Art" never grows old, while "Native Art History is Made Here, which runs through March 31, 2024, remembers the inaugural 1999 and 2001 Eiteljorg Fellowship honorees, including famed Apache sculptor Allan Houser.
