The Most Awesome Birthday Ever!!!

Wednesday June 24th was my 23rd Birthday.My Husband I planned a little day trip to Indianapolis that day.We decided to visit the Indianapolis Museum of Art.This museum is the 5th Largest Art museum in the U.S. As soon as i walked in I was in a Daze. 3 huge floors Of paintings, sculptures, Fashion, and things I have never seen before and they had every artist you could think of. The coolest thing was you could take pictures of all the paintings etc. I got the most amazing pictures. As soon as we walked in to the first exhibit I saw for the fist time a Picasso , a Vincent Van Gogh ,Georgia O'Keeffe and a couple of Monet's. Never in my life I thought I would see some of the most Famous paintings by some of the most famous artists. After 3 hours of being mesmerized by all the beautiful works of art i did some shopping at the gift shop, got a really cool shirt, and a very cool book 1001 paintings you must see before you die by Stephen Farthing. One of the paintings i saw at the museum was in the book Georgia O'Keeffe Jimson weed painting. So i have 1000 paintings to go before i die. It looks like I'll have to take a couple of trips to Europe to get them all.
The museum set on several acres of Gardens which included a historical Lilly house. Everything in side was exactly the way it was when the original owner lived there. The Gardens around the house and museum had tons of sculptures and beautiful flowers.

Another plus for this museum for us was That everything was FREE!!! Yes I said FREE!!
Free parking, Free admission to the whole museum and Free admission to the ground and the Lilly house.SO If you ever take a trip to Indianapolis I give this place 5 stars!!!
