Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library

I visited this museum on a lazy weekday morning, and it wasn’t too busy at the time. I had a chance to peruse the exhibit without any interruptions. It’s a fairly small museum, but they do manage to pack a lot of information about Kurt Vonnegut into the place. I have to admit to not being as familiar with the author beforehand as I ought to have been, but the museum helped to fill in the blanks. It’s focused much more on the man than his works, but there’s plenty of charm there. The videos they had playing of him giving a commencement speech were very interesting and entertaining, and you could tell how witty Kurt was. The first floor is mostly the gift shop area and I’d recommend starting from the third floor and working down. This museum is a must see location if you’re already familiar with the author, and I’d say it’s still worth a visit even if you’re not.

This was #1 on my attractions in Indy list & I'm so glad i made it! We made it in for Free Visit Mondays (first Monday of each month) ! What a great exhibit with passionate staff. My mom and I spent a good maybe two hours exploring the 3 levels. I think my favorite memorabilia was his actual type writer that you are allowed to try out. A lot of great art as well. They also have a little bar with coffee and alcohol. I will say though, yall are severely missing an opportunity by not having any merch with "So it goes" on it, and or "everything was beautiful and nothing hurt." Those are my favorite quotes and i was a lil sad there wasnt more of that incorporated. Would've loved a little gravestone tee or sticker with one of those slogans. I did however purchase 3 books and another sticker :) happy to have been able to experience this and it's very appreciated to see the activism and education that this establishment brings. Thank yall so much! Hope it stays open forever!
