Walking around campus in 2023, most people would not be able to tell that IU was originally founded as Indiana State Seminary 202 years ago. IU’s original
location is a mile southwest of the Sample Gates, at what is now Seminary Square Park near the corner of S College Avenue and 2nd Street.
Article IX section two of the 1816 Indiana constitution required the state legislature to es-
tablish a state sponsored university. In 1820, the state legislature passed a resolution establishing IU in the then-unincorporated town of Bloomington, named by its first American settlers for the beautiful flowers found in the area.
IU’s first classes began in April 1825 with a single professor, Presbyterian minister Baynard Rush Hall. Hall taught Latin and Greek to 12 students.
The university’s first president, Andrew Wylie, took office in 1829 and was also a Presbyterian minister. While the Indiana State Seminary was considered a secular institution, the first nonclergyman university president, David Starr Jordan, was not selected until 1885.
IU was renamed Indiana College in 1828 and Indiana University in 1838. Campus moved to its present location in the 1880s after a series of fires rocked the Seminary Square location.
Today, IU is home to more than 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students and 1,500 fulltime faculty members.

Wow — are you sure?
Look, I’m not here to dissuade anyone from cheering on the Hoosiers. Plenty of people do it. I just want to make sure you do so responsibly. Heartbreak isn’t always easy to bounce back from.
That said, here’s a crash course on what you need to know about being an Indiana sports fan.
When it comes to Indiana sports, it doesn’t get any bigger than basketball. For decades, students have willingly lined up outside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for hours in the bitter cold, all for the luxury of a balcony seat.
Historically, that mostly only applied to the men’s team, but
head coach Teri Moren has the women’s team looking like a national title contender, and fans are showing up in record-setting droves now. Whether it’s a dunk from men’s senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis or a crisp 3-pointer from women’s junior guard Sydney Parrish, Assembly Hall is never more than a moment away from erupting.
In 49 states, it’s just basketball. But this is Indiana. What else are you going to do on a frozen February night if you aren’t 21 yet?
What about the other sports?
While they don’t get as much recognition as basketball, the Hoosiers’ other sports are some of their best.
Men’s soccer is a perennial national championship contender. Both swimming and diving teams are studded with current and future Olympians. Wrestling, water polo, men’s
tennis and volleyball are all on the upswing. I’ve even seen some pretty scrappy intramural wallyball teams.
And if you want to watch an elite blue blood college football program, I have great news: you’ll get to see a bunch of them obliterate Indiana numerous times every year.
Mostly time, stress and the cognitive dissonance that comes with supporting the criminally inequitable engine of amateur athletics.
Oh, you mean financially? Barely anything.
While a men’s basketball and football combo season ticket package costs $440 — football alone costs $120 — all other sports at IU are completely free to students with a valid CrimsonCard.
Yes, this whole time we’ve been watching women’s bas-
ketball graduate guard Grace Berger splash midrange jumpers without spending a dime. I guess the best things in life really are free after all.
I realize sports aren’t for everyone. Where some people see human excellence and competitive spirit, others see 20-yearolds slamming into one another while attempting to put various balls through different receptacles. Personally, I’m not sure I see much of a difference, but to each their own.
Still, eventually you’ll probably wind up talking to an extremely basic dude at a party. In those moments, it’ll be handy to at least roughly know how the basketball teams are doing so you can keep the conversation afloat.
Then again, you might just be better off ignoring them.
When all new students get accepted into IU, they receive a welcome package which includes an IU Bucket List: Your Must Do at IU. e bucket list includes a plethora of activities to accomplish before graduating from IU. Here are some of the main traditions that students commonly take part in.
Shake Herman B Wells’ Hand
e rst campus tradition I recommend is shaking the hand of the Herman B Wells statue of for good luck. Wells was IU’s 11th president and rst chancellor. e statue is located in the Old Crescent area of campus near Rose Well House. e statue was in-
stalled in 2000 shortly after Well’s death with his hand outstretched for students to shake.
Gaze up at the Eskenazi Museum of Art color show
Another beloved campus tradition is for students to lie on the ground with their feet up against the side of the Eskenazi Museum of Art at night and watch the Light Totem’s color show. e Light Totem was made as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the I.M. Pei designed museum. e totem is an aluminum tower with computer-controlled LED lights that re ect against the side of the museum.
Jump into Showalter Fountain
A favorite tradition for new students is to nd time to jump into Showalter Fountain. Show-
alter Fountain is located in the center of the Fine Arts Square and depicts the “Birth of Venus.” Five sh sculptures surround the sculpture of the Roman goddess. It's common for rst year students to jump in the fountain usually in the beginning of the fall semester.
Additionally, it is common for new students take a photo in front of Sample Gates. Sample Gates is an iconic landmark at IU, serving as the entrance to the Old Crescent area of campus. Edson Sample, the main contributor for the funds to construct Sample Gates, dedicated the gates to his parents.
Lastly, students often share a
special moment with a signi cant other at Rose Well House. Rose Well House is located in the Old Crescent area of IU’s campus. It was built in 1908 and originally a major water source for campus, but over time it became a romantic spot. Supposedly if someone kisses their signi cant other in the Rose Well House at the stroke of midnight they will be each other’s romantic partners for life.

At the intersection of downtown Bloomington and IU’s campus sits Kirkwood Avenue, the city’s most iconic street. Kirkwood Avenue is chock-full of restaurants, famous bars and shops full of IU merchandise and giftware.
While each business on Kirkwood has its own distinctive charm, a handful of businesses stand out as must-see spots. Explore the listicle be-
low to learn about the places you must visit when taking a stroll downtown.
Kilroy’s on Kirkwood is one of two Kilroy’s locations in Bloomington. The other location — Kilroy’s Sports — is a little farther away from campus on North Walnut Street. While Kilroy’s Sports is much more of a nightclub and live music venue, Kilroy’s on Kirkwood functions as a sports bar and grill.
The Kirkwood location is rather simple and offers drinkers a fun, hole-in-the-wall ambiance. It’s also a popular spot on IU game days, as IU sports fans line up outside the door to drink away the day and cheer on the Hoosiers.
Kilroy’s on Kirkwood also serves typical bar food. Employees can be seen grilling hamburgers and hotdogs on any game day. The bar offers a variety of great drink specials, such as $2 12 oz. draft beer on Fridays and $5 Long Island
variations on Saturdays.
The Upstairs Pub
For another 21+ venue, The Upstairs Pub is a must-see location on the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and North Dunn Street. The upstairs bar offers drinkers a cozy atmosphere to kick back and relax.
The Upstairs Pubs has a wide variety of constantly rotating craft beers on tap, with brews from Bloomington Brewing Company, Upland Brewing Company and more.
Aside from drinks, the bar also serves greasy appetizers, fresh wings, grilled wraps and hearty sandwiches.
Tracks functions as both a record store and one-stopshop for any and all IU merchandise. Its grungy, cool atmosphere welcomes music nerds and IU fanatics alike.
With an abundance of stylish clothes, Tracks is oftentimes far more affordable than IU merchandise for sale at the campus bookstore, Memorial Stadium and Assembly Hall.
Open seven days a week, Z&C Teriyaki and Sushi offers IU students an affordable and tasty array of Thai food only a block away from campus. The restaurant is to-go only, but does have a few tables outside for customers to sit and eat at when the weather is nice.
The affordable eatery has specialty sushi rolls, teriyaki combos and sides like edamame, spring rolls and gyoza. It’s only available in Bloomington, so students should definitely take advantage of its offerings while they can.
As one of three locations in Bloomington, the Soma Coffeehouse and Juice Bar located
on the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and North Grant Street is eclectic and situated next to a small record store and crystals shop.
Soma offers coffee drinkers a cozy little nest of woodsy and psychedelic energy to sit and do homework in. It’s small, but this lack of space only adds to its comfortable charm. With a menu full of smoothies, hot tea and specialty lattes, there’s sure to be a drink for everyone.
Nick’s English Hut is another great place to stop and grab a drink and bite to eat. The restaurant and bar originally opened in 1927 as a 50seat candy store and sandwich stop. After acquiring its liquor license in 1934, the restau-
rant has been serving the 21+ crowd ever since.
For those not yet 21 years old, Nick’s serves a delicious spread of burgers, quesadillas, pizzas and more. It’s a necessary stop for all IU students to make while living in Bloomington.
On the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and North Walnut Street sits Book Corner, a small bookstore filled to the brim with contemporary and classic novels. Its wide selection of books is a bookworm’s dream.
Aside from books, the small shop also sells notebooks, bookmarks and a variety of giftware perfect for anyone looking to support a small local business.

From IU’s campus to city hall, Bloomington is filled with monuments and landmarks with interesting histories. The origins of these landmarks reveal the narrative of a unique Midwestern town.
Laurent in 1952.
Laurent was inspired by his sabbatical in Italy, where he chose to focus on Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty, fertility and love. He selected a bronze casting technique instead of crafting the statue out of marble.
In 1958, the bronze casts were completed in Rome and shipped to Bloomington. Then, in 1961, the statue was installed, portraying the birth of Venus in a clam and surrounded by dolphins.
The fountain was made possible due to the donation of Grace Showalter in honor and memory of her late husband Ralph Showalter, giving the fountain its name.
The Janeway Statue
Bike, jog or stroll down the B-line trail and it will be impossible to miss the bronze statue of Captain Kathryn Janeway, Bloomington’s most famous intergalactic traveler.
The Janeway Statue honors a character from “Star Trek: Voyager,” a 1995 television series that takes place in the Star Trek universe. In the series, Janeway is born in Bloomington, Indiana on May 20, 2336. The statue was partly inspired by Captain Kirk’s statue in Riverside, Iowa, and picked up steam
when Bloomington residents contacted the city council.
Janeway’s future birth place being Bloomington is not random — the writer and executive producer of the show, Jeri Taylor, was born in Bloomington and received a bachelor’s degree from IU.
Today, the Showers com plex serves as Bloomington’s city hall and a place for city council meetings. A century ago, the building was a furni ture factory.
The Showers Brothers Fur niture Company, established in 1910, at one time produced 60% of all furniture in the U.S. and made up a fourth of Bloomington tax revenue. The company struggled to recover after the Great Depression and closed in 1955. Shortly after, IU purchased the building and used it for storage until 1994.
IU sold the building to the Bloomington Advancement Corporation, which renovated the space and reopened it as a place for city hall in 1995. Recently, the city council approved an appropriation ordinance that would advance a plan to purchase remaining space in the Showers complex for a new police department headquarters.

One Indiana tradition stands above the rest for students, alumni and alike.
For two days at the end of April, bikes take over campus. “The World's Greatest College Weekend,” better known as the Little 500, moves to center stage on April 21 and 22 this year.
IU Foundation Executive Director Howdy Wilcox Jr.
started the Little 500 in 1951. Wilcox saw students holding informal bike races around dorms and decided to model a bike race after the Indianapolis 500, a race his father won in 1919.
In 1987, four Kappa Alpha Theta sorority members tried to qualify for the Little 500. On their third qualifying attempt, they finished the run and qualified 34th — one position short of making the field. In response, the inaugural women’s
race ran in 1988.
Both races feature up to 33 teams; those are made up of up to four undergraduate amateur riders, who complete up to 10 exchanges for the men and five for the women throughout the race.
The races have been held at Bill Armstrong Stadium’s cinder track every year since 1981 and are put on by the IU Student Foundation. Money raised from the Little 500 goes into an IU Student Founda-
tion scholarship fund that has handed out more than $2 million to undergrads, according to the Little 500 website.
Melanzana Cycling, the victor in the 100-lap 34th women’s race in 2022, won its first race as a team and finished two laps ahead of second place.
Phi Delta Theta won the 71st running of the 200-lap men’s race last year, beating the rest of the field in a last second dash following a crash in turn 4.
SOURCE CAMPUS VISITOR’S GUIDE | SPRING 2023
Bike: Each team receives two bikes from the IU Student Foundation for race day. The Schwinn bikes are single-speed, coaster brake, 700c wheeled bikes and are not allowed to have any modifications.
Exchange: Teams have to switch riders 10 times during the men’s race and five times during the women’s race. Teams can exchange riders using one bike or do a full-bike exchange using two bikes.
Pole: The team that starts the race in first place.
Pits: Selected in order of qualification, each team will have its own pit to set up in. When completing an exchange, the rider getting off the bike must stop by the end of the next pit or receive a penalty.
Flags: There are seven flags used throughout the race: green, yellow, red, white, checkered, black (ride on outside of the track) and blue with an orange stripe (bicycle attempting to pass).
Pack: A group of riders together, usually including the teams near the lead.
Draft: A rider will line up behind another biker, reducing air resistance and allowing the rider to draft — putting in less effort to maintain a speed.
Sprinter: A team’s fastest rider in short bursts, who will often be tasked with the last lap or two in order to finish the race.
Burn: In preparation for an exchange, the current rider will sprint to separate from the pack before they exchange, “burning” their remaining energy.
Marking: When a team begins a burn, a second team will mark them to pressure them into an exchange, to prevent the burning team from faking and creating a lead.
Set: A period of laps a rider spends on the bike before exchanging. Riders with more stamina may ride longer sets, while sprinters will ride shorter and faster sets.
Lapped traffic: Once a team is off the lead lap, they will be directed to the outside of the track as the pack passes them to avoid interfering with the leaders.
Yellow jersey: The winning team from the year before wears a yellow jersey on race day. Last year’s winners were Phi Delta Theta for the men’s and Melanzana for the women’s.
Spring Series: A series of four events in the weeks leading up to the race that involve all the riders, including Qualifications, Individual Time Trials, Miss-N-Out and Team Pursuit. The overall winning team of the Spring Series gets to wear a white bike jersey on race day.
Qualifications: Also known as Quals, a team gets four laps to set a fastest time and qualify within the 33-man Little 500 field. The fastest team qualifies on the pole and receives a green jersey to wear on race day.
Individual Time Trials: ITTs are also a four-lap event but are completed individually. Four riders compete at the same time, starting in each corner of the track, to complete four laps first.
Miss N Out: Starting in heats of five to eight, the last place rider is eliminated every lap until three riders remain. The three advance to the next round until the final heat of eight. Once three riders are left on the last heat, they begin a one-lap sprint to determine the winner.
Team Pursuit: Two teams of four start on opposite ends of the track and chase each other down in a pace line for 15 laps. The teams are timed based on the third rider to cross the finish line. The two fastest teams compete to determine the winner.
“Breaking Away”: The 1979 movie about the Little 500 won an Academy Award for best original screenplay. The race team Cutters, which won in 2018 and 2019 and has the most wins in the men’s race with 14, was named after the squad from the movie.

When walking around on campus, students are likely to see construction projects going on around them.
Located at 330 N. Eagleson Ave
Completed on Dec. 15, 2022, The Ferguson International Center is the newest addition to IU’s campus. The building’s main purpose is to support international engagement among IU students. Its services and facilities include orientation for overseas students coming to IU and students who want to study abroad, meeting and function space for student organizations focused on international topics and administrative space for programs supporting international engagement.
Located at 541 N. Woodlawn Ave.
In July of 2022, Smith, Edmondson, and Cravens Halls were renovated in the Collins Living-Learning Center. The
were replaced with new vertical fan coil units, as well as fresh air ducts. The chilled water and building heating distribution systems were replaced with a central system which included air conditioning, roof repairs, updated electrical systems and new fire safety systems. Additionally, the food service areas in Edmondson Hall were updated.
Located at 321 Eagleson Ave.
Completed in September of 2021, this facility is one of the buildings that is home to the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture and Design. Lectures, workshops, student collaboration and office spaces often take place inside of the building. The construction was based on a 1952 architectural design by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe of a proposed fraternity house that was never built.
Luddy Artificial Intelligence Center
Located at 1026 E. 11th St.
Completed in August of 2021,
parking garage and an attached 58,000 gross square foot academic and administrative office building were constructed for this project. The building houses the Luddy Artificial Intelligence Center, which is the hub of artificial intelligence activity and research at IU.
Projects under construction:
Renovation of Morrison Hall
Second and Third Floors for The Irsay Family Research Institute
Located at 1165 E. 3rd St.
The renovated second and third floors of Morrison Hall will soon be home to the newly created Irsay Family Research Institute. Mechanical systems will be upgraded, including electrical, plumbing, restroom, fire safety, data infrastructure and air handling improvements.
Administrative and research offices, conference rooms and a data center will be included as well.
The data center will meet federal physical and data security standards for housing a Federal Statistical Research Data Center, which was awarded to IU by the U.S. Census Bu-
“FSRDCs provide secure environments supporting qualified researchers using restricted-access data while protecting respondent confidentiality,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau website.
Projects In-Planning:
Wright Quadrangle Renovation
Located at 501 N. Eagleson Ave.
Several systems throughout the Wright complex will be improved for this project, including connectivity to the campus chilled water and steam loops, new water and heating, fire safety, electrical and central air conditioning implementation. Once construction is complete, there will only be two non-airconditioned residential halls on campus, Mason Hall Apartments and University East Apartments. Accessibility improvements will include a new accessible entrance to the complex and a new elevator. The project is planned in two construction phases in order to allow half the facility to be in use during each phase. The scheduled end date for construction is July 2024.
The Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs helps students, faculty and staff take advantage of the many opportunities to learn about and celebrate diversity, equity and multicultural affairs. These resources offer consulting and support across campus:
Asian Culture Center
More than 2,500 Asian and Asian Pacific American students attend IU. The Asian Culture Center aims to promote awareness, understanding and acceptance of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures, history and issues as an integral part of the fabric of American life in the U.S. The ACC is located at 807 E. 10th St.
The First Nations Educational and Cultural Center supports American Indian and Indigenous students in their transition to IU and throughout college. The FNECC strives to improve college access, persistence and completion for Native American
students while helping them become life-long learners and responsible leaders in a global society. The FNECC is located at 712 E. 8th St.
Jewish
The Jewish Culture Center at IU is dedicated to ensuring Jew ish students have opportunities to recognize and develop their leadership potential and con nect with Judaism in both tra ditional and creative ways. The Jewish Culture Center is located at 730 E. Third St. at the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center.
La Casa Latino Cultural Center
La Casa Latino Cultural Center is designed to foster a sense of belonging and pride for Latinx students at IU. Students can learn about their own heritage and history, the cultures of other people, receive the resources they need to succeed in their education, find mentors and much more. La Casa Latino Cultural Center is located at 715 E. 7th St.
The LGBTQ+ Culture Center is open to everyone. It serves as a safe and inclusive gathering space for LGBTQ+ students
— a place where people are given the encouragement and resources to build meaningful relationships and open their minds and hearts to matters relating to race, gender and sexual orientation. The LGBTQ+ Culture Center is located at 705 E. 7th St.
Once called “The House,”
the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center has a long-standing history of supporting IU’s efforts to challenge, support and contribute to the continued development and success of Black students, faculty and staff. The NMBCC is dedicated to the first Black man, Marcellus Neal, and woman, Frances Marshall, to graduate from IU. The NMBCC is located at 275 N. Eagleson Ave.
The Herman B Wells statue sits near Rose Well House, accompanied by three bronze benches. This bronze statue was created by sculptor Harold “Tuck” Langland in 2000, the same year Wells passed away. Wells was the 11th president of IU and the university’s first chancellor. After his retirement as IU president in 1962, the IU Board of Trustees created a new position of university chancellor specifically for Wells. He brought IU to new heights through increased enrollment, new program offerings, campus beautification projects and all-around support of IU’s faculty and students. The statue sits with his hand outstretched, welcoming visitors to shake his hand, take a seat and enjoy the scenery of IU’s campus.
Dressed in combat attire, the bronze Ernie Pyle statue sits at a typewriter outside Franklin Hall, right next to Sample Gates. The statue, installed in 2014, was created by Langland, the same artist who created the Herman B Wells statue. Pyle was a journalism student in the early 1920s, but he left IU just short of graduation to begin his reporting career. He is best known for being a war correspondent during World War II. His writing style set him apart from other journalists, as he wrote from the perspective of a common soldier and described how the war affected the soldiers. This type of writing style and reporting won Pyle a Pulitzer Prize for journalism in 1944.
Tucked between the IU Auditorium and the Radio-Television Building, the statue of jazz musician Hoagy Carmichael plays the piano. The statue was created by sculptor Michael McAuley and installed in 2008. Carmichael was born in Bloomington and graduated from the IU Maurer School of Law. However, he didn’t spend too much time as a lawyer, as he also got an honorary doctorate in music from IU. Carmichael composed hundreds of songs in his lifetime, including “Stardust,” “Little Old Lady” and “Georgia on My Mind.” The statue is depicted to be writing one of his famous songs “Memphis in June.”

For decades, the IU campus has offered a vibrant atmosphere for students and visitors alike. Here is a quick look at college life in Bloomington over time.
Have you seen that massive greenhouse over by the Biology Building? Yeah, you can go in there! Just remember a few things: don’t touch the plants, the floors are often wet and ask the staff if you’re unsure about something or have questions of any kind. The greenhouse is free and open to the public. Its hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays. It’s closed on weekends.
I won’t lie — I’m not going to endorse the idea of just frol-
icking in Campus River. But it is there, and that’s pretty awesome. It weaves its way through campus and adds to the beauty campus already has. Also — just so you don’t go into the experience disappointed — it’s... not the Mississippi. Or the Colorado. Or the Wabash. It’s pretty tiny when compared to those. But it’s something. And in an area filled with massive buildings, even a little bit of nature feels special.
The arboretum is in the middle of a big hub; Wells Library, the Eskenazi Museum of Art, the Kelley School of Business and the School of Public Health surround the green wonderland. But don’t let the busy-
ness around its border scare you away. This area is a truly magical place to explore any time of day with its fantastic flora, winding paths and gorgeous gazebo. There’s some nice history here, too: the original Memorial Stadium and home of the Little 500 was where the arboretum now resides.
A lot happens in Dunn Meadow. In the warmer months, it plays host to many events, from concerts to fairs to pickup games of frisbee. Whether you want to have a picnic or play a game, there’s plenty of room for everyone here. You can even bring your hammock and hang out in the trees that line the path along the meadow.
One of my professors recently hosted class in Dunn Woods — Stewarts’ Hideaway specifically, which I highly recommend with its plethora of logs and benches to sit on — and it was such a refreshing respite from sitting in the dark, hot basement classroom we typically learn in. If your professors don’t do outdoor classes, though — and it may be hard to do something like accounting in the mossy, damp woods — I highly recommend strolling through the woods between classes. Try and work it into your walking route. Even though you can see buildings through the thin trees every which way you look, it’s still an amazing piece of nature right in the heart of campus. Many campuses aren’t so lucky.
IU’s Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art offers a wideranging collection of art from different cultures around the world. Situated in the middle of campus, the museum is accessible and provides students with a quiet and beautiful environment to visit in between classes. With a collection of approximately 45,000 works of art, the museum can seem daunting if it’s your first time visiting. Explore the museum guide below to learn more about the artwork displayed and help plan your visit.
The museum has an abundance of artwork on display from
different cultures and historical periods. With collections dedicated to ancient art, Asian art, European and American art, African art, Oceanian art and Indigenous art of the Americas, visitors are sure to find something that piques their interest. Aside from cultural collections, the museum also has a collection of prints, drawings and photographs and contemporary art.
Similar to other world-class art museums, the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art features a series of special exhibits that rotate throughout the year. The special exhibits showcase art from the museum’s permanent collection, as well as from around the world. Cur-
rently, the museum has seven special exhibits on display. Of the seven exhibits, students interested in history would take a particular interest in the “Italian Renaissance Paintings from the Kress Collection” exhibit and the “Looking at Form and Surface in African Ceramics” exhibit.
Alongside artwork, the museum also houses the Newkirk Café for students and visitors to grab a drink or quick bite to eat. It offers an exclusive coffee blend from Brown County Coffee and features a bountiful spread of pastries. The cafe is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. The cafe does not accept cash payments
at this time.
As a great source of education and recreation, the museum is committed to ensuring that its facilities are accessible to all visitors. Wheelchairs and assistive listening devices are available to borrow at all times. Upon request, the museum is also equipped to provide visitors with low sight tours, memory care tours and sensory-friendly tours. Museum-goers can also visit the welcome center for access to free lockers, a coat rack, extra storage and the museum’s Wellness Room. The museum gallery is closed on Mondays and open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.
The Venue is dedicated to the presentation of excellence in Fine Art with an abundant array of Affordable Art. thevenuebloomington.com
