Do a Google search for the Indianapolis Museum of Art these days and you’ll land at discovernewfields.org, a website that looks like the online home of a botanic garden. Indianapolis Museum of Art director Charles Venable incurred the wrath of the art world last year by changing the museum’s identity, reducing its world-class art collection to just one component in a group of attractions on a 152-acre campus known as Newfields.
Lots of gorgeous spring flowers and a glassy, Guggenheimish entry pavilion, with a big blue snail by the Italian collective Cracking Art inside.
Did I mention the interactive but mostly untamed 100-acre nature and art park?
