Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Enjoy free museum admission as we honor the legacy and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.!

Multicultural performances, a community mural, video highlights of King’s most iconic speeches and hands-on collaborative activities will help visitors connect with themes like service and community that were central to King’s teachings. You can get a rare glimpse of original copies of the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Our curator of social history will be available to chat and offer an up-close look at objects from the museum’s collection. Plus, the museum’s galleries will be open, including the Nikon Small World photomicrography exhibit. Performances featuring dancers, musical artists and more will take place throughout the day in the Great Hall.

Visitors are encouraged to donate to Gleaners Food Bank at wrsp.in/gleaners-ism. Free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in the White River State Park garage.
