Going to IMAX at the state museum this weekend. Carry or no Carry?

[Trevelayan]

I'm guessing they have a "no firearms" policy but Downtown being Downtown at 12am I'm really leaning toward carrying. Anyone know or had experience with the state museum recently?

If they have nothing to detect metal, who's gonna know?

 

[Principal Skinr]

Didn't see this thread. If no metal detectors, gtg, if what I read is true....that it is a DNR property.

Anyone know if they make you go through detectors?

Indiana State Museum carry. Yes/No?

Gotta date with the Mrs today at the museum. Is carry okay?

Security at Indiana State Museum?

Is there any security checks at the Indiana State Museum in Downtown Indy? I'm going to be carrying a pocketknife, my wife will have a can of mace.

Those threads are really old, and may be irrelevant.

I saw the new Batman a few weeks ago at the state museum IMAX. No metal detectors or security. Concealed means concealed.
If there is occasion for someone to see or hear my pistol, the last worry on my mind is what their policy is. Otherwise, who's gonna know?

So just wondering what makes the IMAX so noteworthy?

Same discussion as the last two times...

its my understanding that The state museum (and its associated properties like the grist mill at metaBora as my kids call it) is no different than the state office building; A lawful and enforcible GFZ that could come with arrest and/or confiscation.

But with that disclaimer, I agree with others. If you are willing to risk it and potentially pay the piper, No metal detectors= concealed means CONCEALED.

Because it is one of the better Imax theaters with the seating being more steeply angled and a larger screen. The sound system is tops, too. Top Gun Maverick was AMAZING on that screen. Well worth it.

Btw, there were no metal detectors. And the popcorn was very good.

Ditch downtown and go to Imax 17 on south meridian.

But maybe not the same laws in place, which would render 10 year old discussions irrelevant. Or maybe the same laws are in place, I don't know. Like I said, I don't care. Concealed means concealed. I have a greater responsibility to my family than I do to assholes who would arbitrarily deny me the right to self defense based on what type of building I am in. YMMV

Concealed means concealed.

Got it.

I didn't know that. I thought the law as written currently specifically stated the statehouse and adjacent office building, not "anything owned by the state".

Unless something changed, the ban extends to any state property. Including museums. But they arent apparently THAT motivated because they dont bother to staff the entrances with metal detectors.

It's one of only three 70mm IMAX theaters in the entire country , it was built with funding from the state and in cooperation with IMAX. 70mm has bt far the clearest image even when compared to the laser IMAX projectors. That being said it's a dying art , only a few directors even film in 70mm anymore.

That being said DUNE at the State Museum was an experience to say the least. I love having this theater in Indiana as a movie fan.

You also get to see more of the screen in 70mm, for instance the new James Bond movie had 40 minutes of 70mm shots. Tenet had a phenomenal 70mm easter egg at the end but Nolan loves that kind of film making.

I’ve said it before, and ’ll say it again - You haven’t seen The Dark Knight, unless you’ve seen it in IMAX. OVer 20 minutes of the film was shot with 70mm IMAX cameras, and the result is a cinematic experience like you’ve never seen before. But how did this all come together? “It was…

Decent article about it, back on topic carry on at the theater concealed means concealed.

Thanks kind of figured there was more to it than just a larger screen.

I don't think that is quite correct. State museums/historical sites/etc can make their own rules, but I believe the most that they can do is kick you out and have you trespassed. If it's any state owned property that would include the BMV and such.

When Dune Part 2 comes out next year anyone want to do a INGO State Museum 70mm IMAX film nerd meet up

The State Museum is part of the Museum and Historic Sites. They have not been part of the DNR for several years now.

Indiana General Assembly - Indiana Register

Also not part of the "State House".

They are technically a political subdivision, and cannot regulate firearms.

Sure they can just ask them they will tell you so.
