Eiteljorg Museum - Founded from Harrison Eiteljorg's Collection

The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in downtown Indianapolis was established from the private collection and philanthropy of businessman Harrison Eiteljorg. The museum opened in 1989 and showcases Native American and Western art from Eiteljorg's holdings and subsequent acquisitions. The institution's name and founding reflect Harrison Eiteljorg's role as the donor whose collection formed the museum's core.
