Statehouse Education Center
Every year, thousands of students, families and individuals come to the Statehouse and Library to learn about state government, see Hoosier history in-the making, marvel at the architecture and to find out how government works for them. The State Education Center exponentially enhances visitor experiences by supporting social studies and language arts curricula and offering interactive, dynamic exhibits focused on how Indiana State Government supports Hoosiers of all ages. It is housed on the ground floor of the Indiana State Library.
Interactive Exhibits
Hoosier Memory
Discover treasures from collections of the State Library and other government offices using an interactive tablet and learn interesting facts and stories about Indiana’s history.
Government Works for Me
Explore the urban, rural and suburban landscapes of Indiana to learn more about the State Departments and services they provide, such as inspecting theme parks, building bridges and regulating wild animal populations. Sort services into different departments to awaken a 3-D sculpture of Indiana with illuminating lights and engaging sounds.
Treasure Hunt
Participate in an engaging treasure hunt searching for facts and concepts throughout the exhibit. Work on your own or in teams to find answers to intriguing questions.
Treasures of the Statehouse

Branches of Indiana Government
