The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum’s mission is to preserve and share one of the world’s premier collections of automotive and motor racing vehicles and artifacts, with special emphasis on the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race.
For the latest information on IMS Museum exhibits, tours, membership benefits and special events, please visit the Museum’s official website.
Located within the famed 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, the IMS Museum collection encompasses automobiles and artifacts representing more than a century of Indianapolis 500 culture, drama and competition, plus vehicles representing NASCAR, Formula One, American short-track racing, drag racing and motorcycles.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame – comprised of drivers, team owners and personalities who have had a significant impact on IMS – is also housed at the Museum.
The IMS Museum is operated by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Foundation, a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) entity, which relies on individual memberships, sponsor partners and philanthropic donations for much of its operating budget. Information on memberships, track tours and exhibits is available at the Museum’s website.
The Museum is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving and Christmas, offering a variety of track and “behind the scenes” tours, depending on weather and track availability.
The building also houses two Indianapolis Motor Speedway gift shops, and the track's retail photography store and archives. In addition to the Museum’s website, news and information is available at (317) 492-6784, or on the Museum’s Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages.
