This was a very cool experience. I’m sad to see it go.
Hooray! Bring back the amazing contemporary art floor!
The Lume exhibits were part of a 5-year contract. The intention had always been to close Lume down at the end of the contract; I was told this by a check-in attendant a few months ago. I attended all the Lume exhibits and they were visually stunning and the exhibits were informative but I look forward to a return of the contemporary art galleries on the fourth floor.
Newfields’ contemporary art collection is fantastic. I’m really excited to see those pieces again!
Here’s to hoping the brilliant minds at “Newfields” (sounds like the combination of a nougaty candy bar and a lawn-care service) can take this transition opportunity to finally, permanently remove the pesky words “Indianapolis” and “Art” and “Museum” wherever they appear.
You do realize, that the name “Newfields” refers to the entire campus. One the grounds of Newfields, you have the landmark Oldfields Estate, One Hundred Acres of Art, several event venues, AND the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
You forgot the latest “Newfields” feature, out on the intersection with ever-classy color-changing LED lights in the windows: “You Buy, We Fry.”
I think IMA might have been one of the first museums to host a “LUME” exhibit. Now as I travel, I see Lume style exhibits every where. I think this is just a matter of market saturation.
Art returns!
Sad to see it go. The immersive experience was unique.
