Turn of the century architecture, fabulous antiques, real paintings by real Indiana artists. Terrific tour by the owner! Who knew such a jewel existed so close to home? Loved it!

I went especially to see the Karl and Becky Martz installation. Becky and Karl and I were special friends and I so enjoyed seeing their work. I met Ellie at the museum and shared some Martz history in the time I knew them with her. They were "a meant to be together" kind of couple.

Reilly McGinnis

A sculpture garden and walking trails behind the mansion. Inside a wide range of ceramics, sculptures and paintings from Indiana. Also a beautiful house to admire. The owner and person who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable and excited about the artists of Indiana, USA.

Sara Swinehart

Cuuuute!! Such a beautiful garden space.

amy sloan

interesting art and friendly informative staff.

Leonard Boyll

Excellent collection of Indiana artists' work, also antique music boxes and Nickelodeons. All contained in a beautiful old mansion moved to Lafayette from the St. Louis Fair. The generous grounds and historic neighbor lends an elegant aptmosphier for showcasing the museum.

Anne Lumley

So much interesting history about the building and the art inside. Warm, friendly tour guides willing to share their knowledge make for a great visit!

Shreyansh Gambhir

This place is great. Beautiful collection of paintings, revival period furniture, clay structures, stained glass art and a lot more. The museum is specifically for Indiana Art. The owners are super nice. There is a sculpture garden which is free for everyone.

Worth a visit

Brady Mullis

Excellent and worth the trip if you're a fan of Indiana impressionism (ie TC Steele) or pottery and sculpture. A lovely home with tours by interested and invested owners.

We visited the Haan mansion and museum today while I was visiting my sister in Lafayette. We found it online when looking for local attractions and weren't sure what to expect. It was easy to find and park, and we were greeted at the door by Mr. Haan himself (the museum employs several employees but he works there as well giving tours). He led us and two other visitors around the museum, sharing the beautiful collection of Indiana artwork and American furniture (particularly beautiful pieces in the Renaissance Revival style) with personal anecdotes and plenty of points of interest. The special exhibition was of work by Ohio/Indiana artist Mr. Willis Bing Davis, and it was interesting and well-curated, punctuated by displays of poetry that inspired the artist. We are looking forward to visiting this beautiful house again in the spring to see the brand new sculpture garden. Both the beautiful collection and the architecture of the home itself make this a worthwhile stop for an afternoon in Lafayette!!!

Local History at its finest...

TKS HOUSE

My wife and I went there 3 years ago and then again last week. They switch up things so our two experiences there were different and very informative. The hosts that give the tours are very friendly knowledgeable people. There is so much to see there that it takes a couple of times to soak it all in. We enjoyed learning about the history of the house and all of the items in it. They also have a walk through garden area with wonderful pieces of art/sculpture to enjoy.

Lavonne Pelsy

Fantastic step back in time to 1904 World's Fair.

Robert Dunlap

Absolutely beautiful, a must see especially during the holidays. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, if you're lucky to speak to the family that donated the home it makes the trip extra special!

Megan Perry

Great collection of artworks from Hoosier artists!

Judith Kornafel

Derek Troyer

We did not get to go inside the museum but it is an impressive building from the outside.

Shirley West

This is one of the most unique and beautiful collections of art created by artists from a specific part of the country that I have ever seen. The museum was originally built in 1904 as the Connecticut Pavilion at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. It was purchased and moved and rebuilt in Lafayette, Indiana then was a private residence for many years and is now a museum. The art displays are the works of Indiana artists from the mid 1800"s until the present day. It includes many oil paintings by very famous artists as well as ceramic and other sculptures. There are two incredible and functioning large music boxes. All of the beautiful furniture is American. It is an historical treasure chest.

Charles Scates

Unbelievable collection of art! The owners themselves gave us a fantastic tour. The sculpture garden is wonderful aswell. Definitely a must see!
