One of the best features about the Indiana State Museum is the immensity of space there. Large-as-life displays for instance like this replica of the 3-story facade of Indianapolis’ School No. 5. After entering from the underground parking garage, it’s one of the first things you see inside the Grand Lobby. The site of the original School No. 5 was not too far from where the museum is now located and was named after the 19th century social activist and pastor Oscar C. McCullough.
If I didn’t know where this shot was taken, I’d swear it was the real thing. There are some things on display at ISM that will make you stop and think. Something about seeing where you’ve been as a people, a collective recapitulation of sorts, that helps you appreciate the journey and understand your part in it a little better.
