Last year we got to the St. Louis Art Museum about an hour before it closed and were quite frustrated. We should have gone the next morning before heading home. It is just a 4 hour drive. This year we made sure to have the time. This is terrific museum and has plenty to interest us, and we plan to... More

Quite a stunning building with a really wide range of exhibits. All were well displayed with easy to read information. There are three levels, all worth visiting. The American Art is on the top floor. Quite an eclectic collection, just enough on each genre to whet your appetite and stimulate, but nothing had too much to become tedious. The Grand... More

How can you pan an art museum with all the greats and NO ADMISSION CHARGE. On the plus side, it has some treasures. it is free, it is in the park. Less positive, The arrangement of galleries seemed random even chaotic. A Picasso here and then three galleries later--there. It might have been better with a audio guide or a... More

I am here for a work conference and don't get out until about 5 each evening. This place is open until 9, so it is one of the few places to visit that doesn't close early. We were originally driving around the see the zoo (it was closed), but we decided to stop and check out the museum. I've never... More

Saint Louis has many free and low-cost attractions, but the art museum should definitely be on your list. Their Max Beckmann collection is astonishing; and the Egyptian artifacts will thrill you. Everywhere you turn you'll find hidden treasures from cultures around the world. Tip: Plan your visit so you can get in on a free, docent-led tour of the collection.... More

Love the impressionist (especially Max Beckmann) collection- best gift shop in town- my number one go to place for birthday gifts!

We were going to skip out this one on our trip to Saint Louis as my other half is not much of a culture-seeker. But a change in some plans left us with an afternoon free, and so we wondered around Forest Park and eventually into this art museum. It's free, so we knew it wouldn't be a waste of... More

I didn't really high expectations for this museum. Even their own website didn't really sell it for me, but I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and extent of their collection. I like the way the exhibits are mixed from gallery to gallery. It prevents viewing fatigue and keeps you interested. We also took a wlak around the pretty lake... More
