After undergoing a major transformation, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Museum officially reopened its doors on April 2, 2025, following a celebratory ribbon cutting ceremony. Closed since November 2023 for renovations, the museum now provides visitors with a refreshed and expanded experience that honors the rich history of racing at IMS.
The museum’s transformation brings a whopping 40,000 square feet of new exhibit space, plus access to areas that were previously off-limits. This expanded space now features an even bigger collection of non-vehicular artifacts, some of which have never been seen before! Plus, visitors can dive into immersive experiences like the "Qualifying Zone," where you can test your racing skills and get a taste of what qualifying looks like for Indy 500 hopefuls.
In addition to the permanent displays, the IMS Museum also features rotating exhibitions that offer a deeper look at the history of racing. Currently, visitors can explore the following:
