Built as a Federal Works Agency Project under the Roosevelt Presidency and opened on March 22, 1941, the Indiana University Auditorium - located in the heart of Indiana University's Bloomington campus - has been host for the last sixty years to the world's top performers, from the Metropolitan Opera and Les Miserables to Bill Cosby and Mikhael Gorbachev. 
The Auditorium is also home to Thomas Hart Benton's "Century of Progress" murals, painted for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, the priceless Dailey Family Memorial Collection of Hoosier Art and two Robert Laurent sculptures. Closed for a $13 million renovation and restoration in 1997, the Auditorium reopened in 1999 and continues to present an exciting season of Broadway show, concerts and student events.
