Go downtown.
We visited the Indiana State Museum & it was quite interesting.
This sculpture is in the lobby.
The museum showcases everything Indiana,
like this mastodon skeleton recovered in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
There are representations of native animals from the past & present.
And reminders of our past
Not all of them good memories.
Included are depictions of our natural resources, like Bedford limestone,
used in buildings such as the Pentagon,
the Empire State Building & the Biltmore Estate.
Famous Hoosiers were also noted.
Did you know Steve McQueen, Col. Sanders, David Letterman, Jane Pauley,
Red Skelton, Florence Henderson, Cole Porter & Orville Redenbacher are all Hoosiers?
A popular exhibit is the Foucault Pendulum suspended in the spiral stairway.
It demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
Who knew Indiana could be so interesting?
