I arrived just as…read morethey were opening their doors at 11AM on a Friday, bought my ticket on my phone as the already formed line outside made their way in (don't worry, it moved extremely fast), and was inside roaming around in no time. While I love to roam around museums aimlessly and without much a plan, I knew I only really wanted to spend about 2 hours here. I grabbed a pamphlet, downloaded the museums free app and strolled with a bit of intention. This is a really incredible museum and I got to see so many famous works for the very first time: American Gothic, Nighthawks, and A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte just to name a few! It was not too crowded or busy at all and the security and staff were all so friendly and helpful. In just under two hours, I saw all of the pieces I was hoping too, while also spending lots of time just wandering around. I absolutely recommend a visit!

I was disappointed how this is not accessible at all for disabilities. Sure, they're added elevators. But different elevators do not each have access to every level. There were no tactile things included. Even with the embroidery exhibit, they could have included a fabric to touch but did not. I saw some paintings had audio symbols for descriptions, but I never found how to use that option. That being said, the breath and quality of the art is wonderful. I loved the Monet collection

But it's been converted into a museum. Built in 1858 at a cost of $8,000, the Old Michigan City Light replaced an 1837 brick & stone light built at the edge of Lake Michigan. It was the second light at the site, and the predecessor to the Michigan City East Light. It was remodeled in 1904. Seven lighthouse keepers and fourteen assistant keepers served here from 1837 to 1940. [Review 20615 overall - 146 in Indiana - 1596 of 2023.]

The Jackson family should tear down that old house and buy the other 15 houses on that block and tear them down also. They should than build a MICHAEL JACKSON MUSEUM. Give the tourist something to see lifelike figures of the Jackson family, exhibits, give the history of how they got started, show the real clothes they wore, have costumes available to wear during photo shoots, have Michael's music playing all through the museum ,and have a dance floor. I think if they build a museum it would bring people from all over world just to visit the museum in Gary, Indian.

There's even a sprinkle pool at the end that you can jump into. In the museum, you can have unlimited ice cream and, honestly, their ice cream was delicious, smooth, and creamy we first tried a seasonal flavor, the lavender honey, and I was actually surprised by how yummy it was. It balanced both the honey and lavender well; the lavender flavor was not overwhelming and the honey helped with the smoothness of the cream. There's a cocktail bar there, so we also got the 'Cherry on Top' drink and an espresso martini. Honestly both tasted pretty standard. In the exhibits, we tried the ice cream hot dog, where the mustard and relish were actually real mustard and relish. Surprisingly, the savory components paired well with the vanilla ice cream and the bun itself was soft and chewy. I also tried a flavor called "playdoh", it was yellow colored with some chewy candy-like elements in it. Just tasted like vanilla, the candy elements were mildly sweet and added texture. Honestly was pretty tasty, just because the quality of the ice cream was just that good. Overall, a goofy and scrumptious time, I wish we had more time to eat more of the ice cream flavors. Would definitely go again and take my time.

While the museum is 4 floors, the exhibits weren't as plentiful. The 1st floor is basically their cafe. The 2nd and 4th floors are prob the floors with more artwork. The 3rd fl felt like an "in-between" floor. Thankfully, the Yoko Ono exhibit was on display, which featured several interactive activations, like a Wish Tree or writing on a wall, which were fun. Their Museum Shop also spans from floors 1-2. I wouldn't say that this museum has the popular artists. The overall artworks are a mix of abstract, photography, and mixed media. I wouldn't recommend it as a "Must See" for tourists, personally. However, I'm an art enthusiast and still thought it was a decent museum to walk through. Perhaps opt for the Suggested Donation for this one.

Beautiful museum with multiple floors, excellent customer service, plenty of comfortable seating, cool gift shop, and a cafe and restaurant too. It has everything I need! The vibes are good here. I enjoyed all the floors and saw an impressive variety of art. I also wanted to see the Yoko Ono exhibit and I really enjoyed it. I appreciated how interactive it was. There were a few writing stations with activities, such as writing about your mom and taping it to the wall, and writing a wish on a tag and tying it to the wish tree. One room was blue and there were blue markers available and people were encouraged to add to it. Fabulous venue!
