William Mathers Gallery
City on the River
The Museum will showcase the story of Angel Mounds in an upcoming exhibition opening in April 2025. City on the River is the culmination of several years of close partnership and collaboration with the Angel Mounds Exhibition Advisory Council, which includes members of living Indigenous descendant communities ancestrally connected to the site and for whom the site still holds significance. The exhibition will tell the story of the People who lived at the Angel Mounds site through material culture from the site, an immersive virtual reality experience, connections to the stories of contemporary culture-bearers, and art from Indigenous descendant communities.
