Imagination Station: Lafayette's hands on science center has been closed since March 2020 due to the pandemic. This year, however, we were able to organize several free-admission events like Robotics, Math Day, Haunted Lab, Chemistry Day, and Hands on Transportation. All events were well attended and positively received, with the attendees looking forward to the center's reopening.

With the overwhelming support of our community and the mayor's office, through donations, grants and sponsorships, and the hard work of our staff, we have been able to accomplish the much-needed repairs and renovation inside the building. Every contribution made a difference for us, and we are incredibly grateful!

Our mission is to ignite their imaginations here -where they can play and learn something in a STEM-based environment. We also plan to have thematic events and programs every Saturday - we are calling it Science on Saturdays at Imagination Station. We have a lineup of programs for August and are working on September.

Imagination Station is all set to reopen; we will have a grand reopening on Sat Aug 6, from 10 am- 1 pm; admission will be $7 per person and free with membership.

We will have robots, new and exciting exhibits, dry ice bubbles, drones, and lots of hands-on displays.

Initially, we plan to be open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10 am to 1 pm.

We offer field trips to area schools, daycare centers, and other groups like homeschoolers and special needs students. We also provide an excellent environment for birthday parties with some fun activities that are age appropriate.

We have individual memberships that start at $90, with family memberships starting at $120. You can find more information on how to join Imagination Station by purchasing a membership at imagination-station.org.

This exhibition features paintings by Marilyn Jo Martin and Sarah Ruh, exploring a fascination with natural history and the geological and biological forces that shape our planet. Both artists explore textured mediums and natural images.

Reception: Aug 5
During First Friday 6:00 - 9:00 pm

The Haan Museum is excited to present a major collection of paintings from Hilary Eddy’s “Magical Realism” series. They are extraordinary observations of the ordinary. Eddy’s earlier works are large, colorful, up-close images focusing on the smallest details of flowers. Her later work incorporates glass, and shows the wonder of reflected light and astounding colors. Three colorful abstract paintings by Ginny Moon will also be included in the exhibition.

The opening reception will be from 6 to 8 pm on June 10, and the exhibition will be on display through August 13.

These beautiful paintings were donated by Dorothy (Dottie) Murphy. Dottie loved to surround herself with beautiful art, and she knew every painting by name. Placing the paintings in the Museum was uppermost in her mind. Per her wishes, the collection is called “The Dorothy Murphy Collection: In Memory of Patrice and Michael.” Patrice and Michael were Dottie’s children, who brought her immense joy and continued to live in her heart after their passing. Dottie’s gift will allow the public to enjoy these stunning paintings for years to come.

Hilary Eddy earned an MFA at Purdue in 1974, and was an inspiration to numerous local artists when she taught adult art classes at Morton Community Center. Dottie was one of Hilary’s students, and “The Garden,” a painting Dottie completed during one of these classes, is also part of the collection. Dottie and Hilary formed a cherished friendship that lasted for decades, and Dottie became an avid collector of Hilary’s work.
