Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library

The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library in Indianapolis preserves and extends the literary, artistic, and civic legacy of the novelist and artist Kurt Vonnegut. Opened in 2011 and relocated to Indiana Avenue in 2019, it serves as a museum, gallery, reading room, and educational center. Its collection includes Vonnegut’s Purple Heart, typewriter, a replica of his writing studio, and other personal and literary artifacts, alongside a permanent Slaughterhouse-Five exhibition. Through school partnerships, teacher training, writing awards, free-expression initiatives, veterans’ programs, archival digitization, and the annual magazine So It Goes, it functions as an active cultural institution. In 2021, it was designated a Literary Landmark.
