From space travel to sea diving, exploring castles to saving cities, visitors can use cardboard and their imagination to bring their own stories to life at Cardboard Storyland, a new experience at the Indiana State Museum.
Open Jan. 18-June 1, Cardboard Storyland will be the third unique cardboard-themed exhibit the museum has created since 2018, and each previous iteration quickly became a favorite for families.
In this immersive new experience, children and adults can choose their own adventure as they explore four story settings featuring their own distinct styling and unique characters — with every detail designed to inspire visitors’ creativity.
In a sci-fi galaxy, a curious space alien needs help building robots and spaceships to explore different planets. A friendly dragon adventures through a magical kingdom that might be home to towering castles, tiny creatures and everything in between. In a bustling city, a mysterious superhero could use a special costume, vehicle and even a sidekick to help fight crime and save the citizens. And a sea-diving dog searches for sunken pirate ships and hidden treasure amid an underwater world.
At the center of the third-floor gallery, the creation station will offer a variety of everyday materials and tools — colored tape, yarn, scissors and, of course, an unending supply of cardboard — to help guests build whatever they can dream up.
Additionally, visitors can gain inspiration and guidance for their designs during live demonstrations by local cardboard artists Clyde Gaw and Clark Fralick offered periodically through the course of exhibit.
Cardboard Storyland is free for Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites members and included with museum admission, which is $20 for adults, $14 for youth (ages 3-17) and $18 for seniors. Visitors can go to IndianaMuseum.org to learn more and save on admission by purchasing tickets in advance.
