The IU Art Museum was designed by the world-renowned architecture firm I.M. Pei and Partners. The museum's collection includes works by Claude Monet and Jackson Pollack as well as artifacts from Asia and Africa. The IU Art Museum is ranked as one of the top five university art museums along with Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.

Classes and study groups can often be seen meeting outdoors in nice weather. The IU Campus was recognized by Thomas A. Gaines as one of the five most beautiful campuses in the nation in his book The Campus as a Work of Art.

A sculpture of the university's eleventh president and first chancellor, Herman B Wells (1902-2000), is located in the Old Crescent area of campus. To celebrate his life and legacy, the university commissioned a sculpture shortly after Wells passed away in early 2000. The bronze sculpture was created by IU South Bend Professor Tuck Langland and was dedicated October 21, 2000. Robert F. LeBien, chair of the Herman B Wells Sculpture committee, says, "The sculpture represents Dr. Wells not as bigger than life but as part of life. It shows Dr. Wells as we all knew him -- as one of us."

The 500,000-square-foot Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) is the IU campus centerpiece. The IMU is a place where students go to study, relax, eat, bowl, watch movies, and shop.

Each year, the IMU hosts over 17,000 events, such as speakers, student events, campus fairs and celebrations, and even weddings! The IMU is where all Hoosiers belong.
