Unbelievable, $17 seemed a high admission cost now their raising to $20. Very disappointing.It’s not worth that to get into the grounds.
Wait until you go to the other lesser museums in town!
$18 for eiteljorg
$22 for state museum
$25 for childrens museum
Art is for the rich, and everyone else can rot!
– Newfields
…and I can’t even ride my bike around the grounds without paying the admission fee.
They lost me when they came up with the cutesy name– “Newfields.”
To be clear, the land was called Oldfields…. naming the expanded grounds after its original name is…. “cutesy” now?
This is in line with admission to world class museums around the world. If other museums are cheaper, often they have a government subsidy. Plus Newfields has some pretty terrific gardens, which many more urban museums lack. If you don’t appreciate the quality of the museum Indy has, then you are missing out. A museum membership are pretty cost effective since between the rotating special exhibits and the changing seasonal scenery in the garden, it is worth visiting multiple times in a year.
On top of that, the Virginia Fairbanks Art and Nature Park, which is part of Newfields is still free.
I see the goal posts moved on minimum wage. $15/hr used to be the magic number, now it’s $18. Why don’t we just make it $50 and everyone will be rich with no adverse consequences whatsoever. Problem solved!
+1, but don’t increase the cost on anything else to make up for the $50 an hour wages, LOL
Did you get confused and anger post on the wrong article?
Alas, todays minimum wage is equivalent to 15% of what it was in the 50s….. but who’s counting
@James, I don’t get confused. The article states the museum is part of a group calling for an $18 minimum wage
@chuck that was just the writer of the article making a meaningless correlation…. has nothing to do with ticket prices…
$20 for an occasional visit is not too much to ask. How much does one spend for mediocre food or a cocktail . . . if both are consumed, it is likely more than $20. This is Indianapolis, not New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles — certainly not a major metropolitan area attracting droves of [paying] tourists providing significant income to the local economy.
And, frankly, how many employed at Newfields earn the equivalent of $50 per hour. And for those that do can someone provide the justification as to why this amount is or is not appropriate.
How was the IMA free to visit between 1941-2015 (besides 2006 when it charged $7 admission)?
I understand Newfields needs to earn money, but it would be interesting to see the average daily attendance through the years. I wonder how many potential visitors do not go because of the high ticket prices and/or because they’re not aware of the free days. Obviously, money is more important to the current leadership.
The endowment lost 45%+ of its value in that time…. It was robbing peter to pay paul via the endowment
Colts tickets too pricey? Pacers tickets too pricey? Concern tickets too pricey? Theatre? Music?
How many do not attend these events because of ticket prices? Or, does one select which [too] expensive events to visit?
