Review:
The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park is a 100-acre public art park located on the campus of Newfields, formerly known as the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which is one of the largest and oldest encyclopedic art museums in the United States. Though the museum requires ticketed admission, the Art and Nature Park is free and open to the public daily, located along the eastern side of the White River. As one of the nation's largest museum art parks, the park is home to both permanent and temporary site-specific art installations, including works by contemporary artists such as Kendall Buster, Type A, Los Carpinteros, and Jeppe Hein. Other park features include a 35-acre lake, a nesting platform for birds of prey, and large plantings of spring ephemeral wildflowers.
