Mother’s Day Weekend

Mother’s Day Weekend 2025
Museum Hours

There is something for mom this Mother’s Day Weekend at Newfields. There will be art, music, food, and fun throughout Newfields.  

Treat mom to the highly anticipated grand opening for THE LUME Indianapolis featuring Connection: Land, Water, Sky - Art & Music from Indigenous Australians, a visually stunning exhibition that welcomes you to Country – the Indigenous Australian worldview that everything living is connected.  

Then explore three more floors of art in the IMA Galleries before heading outside to The Garden where Spring Blooms presented by Wild Birds Unlimited is in full bloom. Sit back and relax in The Beer Garden at Garden Terrace to enjoy live music, an enhanced brunch menu, and a Mom-osa bar.
