A comprehensive history of St. Louis

Mostly about St. Louis. But history from both world wars and the civil war and some of what life was like inSt. Louis during those times. I liked the panoramic exhibit the past. I found the queen of love and happiness ceremony interesting.

Hardly a museum

This is a very small museum. It has a sculpture of Thomas Jefferson and the Spirit of St. Louis plane. Not much else of interest. The building itself is impressive. Visit only if you have nothing better to do. Allow about 15 minutes. Admission is...More

Thank Annette M

We're sorry to hear you didn't find much of interest on your visit, Annette. We were indeed a small museum when we first opened in 1913, but since our expansion in 2000, we've added four 6,000-square-foot exhibit galleries, as well as classrooms, an auditorium, and...More

Amazing history events!

Relative and pertinent historical events with diversity. Something for everyone from adults to children. Listening to parents and children discussing the events on display was heart warming.

World's Fair exhibit worthwhile viewing.

It is a small museum, and the items displayed have been reduced considerably since I first visited decades ago in a school trip. The first statue of Thomas Jefferson is there, and it older than anything you saw on the East Coast! The sister plane...More

Great Insight Into Missouri History and Rise of Commercialism in the Mid-West

This is an excellent first stop if you're interested in learning about Missouri and St. Louis. The 1904 World's Fair Exhibition is especially insightful for understanding the significance of St. Louis and the US on the world stage in the early 1900's. All the exhibitions...More

Interesting

The museum had wonderful displays of Missouri history. We toured the 1904 World's Fair and Muny Memories galleries - both well done. Some displays change from time to time so plan to go again when in St Louis. Forest park.

Nice musuem, not crowded

We stopped here on the advice from the visitor's center. A 3 minute walk from there. Free admission, free parking. interesting stuff, not crowded. You can take a interactive tour geared towards kids, but have to request free tickets because it's on a schedule.

Thank Sherry F
