IMS Museum begins 140-car basement move-out as transformation approaches
The IMS Museum has started the second phase of its move-out, with around 140 cars being transported out of the basement for off-site storage. This is in preparation for the museum’s closure to the public on November 5th and subsequent renovation. The first phase involved packaging and storing over 55,000 artifacts, including driver suits, helmets, paper archives, and trophies. The basement held a diverse collection of race and road cars, which were re-measured and organized for future showcasing at events and programs while the museum is closed. Although most of the historic cars and memorabilia will be unseen during the closure, the museum sees this as a unique opportunity to showcase some of the cars that are usually in the permanent display. Various ways of showcasing the cars, both in Indianapolis and across the country, are being explored.
