Good Night Forest

Now Open through November 2, 2025

Visitors will feel like they are stepping into a beloved children’s storybook as they encounter whimsical scenes and engaging sensory activities in this nature-inspired experience. Designed to help build confidence and cultivate scientific curiosity, children will discover and learn about animals that emerge in their neighborhoods and local forests after the sun goes down.

Organized and produced by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, with support from the Ball Brothers Foundation and the George and Frances Ball Foundation. 

Narwhal: Revealing and Arctic Legend

Now Open through September 28, 2025

Take a deep dive into the narwhal's Arctic world to explore what makes this mysterious animal and its changing ecosystem important. Through first-hand accounts from scientists and Inuit community members, the exhibition will reveal how traditional knowledge and experience, coupled with the latest scientific research, heighten our understanding of these animals—and our changing global climate.

Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend is in partnership with eKeeper Systems.
