INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Drivers, start your engines – and get ready to experience the newly renovated Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum! After 16 long months of renovations that totaled $89 million, the IMS Museum will finally reopen on April 2, museum leaders announced Wednesday. Museum and speedway leaders announced the project in July 2023 and promising fans that the building would reopen in time for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2025. Work began in October 2023 with the closing of the basement exhibit area and the museum closed to the public that November. With just 53 days between the museum’s grand reopening and the Indy 500, race fans can consider it a promise kept. “It’s just a very reimagined and creative use of existing space,” IMS President Joe Hale told News 8 in July 2023. “Everything on the inside is gonna be new, and it’s gonna tell the story of the ‘500.’ We talk about the epic drama of the Indy 500 — it’s really gonna tell that story in a much more entertaining and engaging way.” The renovated IMS Museum will give race fans an additional 40,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, classic cars, and much, much more.
