The architecture is stunning, and the collection improves on that! Our docent was knowledgeable and kept us moving through the 1904 mansion with an ongoing litany about the history of the building built as a showpiece in the 1904 Worlds Fair in St. Louis MO, how it ended up as a residence in Lafayette and then a museum with a premier art collection, along with interesting stories about some of the more uncommon pieces. Stopped briefly to let the old but still working music boxes play. Very allowing of photography and videos.This place (and collection) is a gem in Lafayettes crown!

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.

Went to walk the trails behind the museum and followed that up with a walk through the rear garden gallery. Garden gallery was nice and had a variety of pieces. However the trails lacked a lot to be desired. They could use some tending too, very run down and overgrown.

Very nice site to see and get a site of history

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.

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

Great short walk and really cool art!

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.

Spent a lovely day here with my mom for their Christmas event. Everyone at the museum was very kind and went out of their way to explain the history behind their special pieces. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

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

Cuuuute!! Such a beautiful garden space.

We enjoyed our afternoon tour. Beautiful art and pottery, and Mrs. Hans gave us a lovely and informative tour. Highly recommend this wonderful museum right in our backyard.️

Every time I visit the Haan Mansion Museum I learn something new. The museum is very well cared for and has an extraordinary collection of art displayed.

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!

Wonderful tour with so much information about each piece!

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 1800s 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.

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 werent 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!!!

Fantastic. Indiana artwork on throughout this house museum. You wont be disappointed.

The pieces here are magnificent and the history around them is really interesting to hear. Would definitely recommend to any history buffs who happen to be passing by

Great museum, and the Zimbabwean exhibits reminded me of home. Thank you Ellie for the favor.

What a wonderful experience! This is one of the best kept secrets in Lafayette! Beautiful collection of Indiana art! Thank you to Robert and Ellie Hann for an interesting tour. Thank you for preserving this treasure.

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.

Fantastic step back in time to 1904 Worlds Fair.

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.

Marvelous place of Indiana heritage and antiques. Indiana artists are highlighted in thus marvelous mansion

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

Very interesting, lots of stuff to see

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

Pretty place to walk.

This is a fantastic museum, and well worth the trip. Amazing clocks, music boxes, and art that is related to people and events in Indiana.

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!

Great history of the old home transported here from a world fair and lots of Indiana artwork.

A beautiful and informative place to have to put on your calendar
