Free museum that covers three floors of exhibits. We saw everything - and it took between 5 and 6 hours!. I'd suggest starting on the lowest floor and seeing various period rooms, then go to the 3rd floor (which is the smallest area), then close on the 2nd floor (which is where you enter). There's a cafe inside with a variety of lunch choices. There are quite a few volunteers that are helpful. We covered close to five miles in the building along with the sculpture garden. It is easy to skip a section that is of lesser interest. There is a very wide variety of art.

The Art Museum is situated in the Forest Park area, which is a short drive from downtown St. Louis. Free parking may be available around the museum, but we visited on a busy day and chose to use the parking garage at the museum which is USD 15. Admission to the museum is free. It is a large museum with extensive collections. We chose to concentrate on some of the European works with artist such as van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Picasso. We especially enjoyed one of Monet’s Water Lilies paintings.

This free art museum is quite large and in a beautiful setting at the top of a hill overlooking fountains in the park. I enjoyed browsing the collection. There is a huge Monet painting which surprised me and caught my attention. Although a map is provided on entry I had some trouble navigating and asked the very friendly and helpful staff for directions from time to time. I used public transportation to get here and the bus stop is right out front. Really enjoyed my time here- a lovely museum!

First and foremost it’s free to enter! It is truly a beautiful compound. The exhibits are amazing. I really enjoyed the Native American Art exhibit and the sculpture garden- just plan for 3-4 or more hours to look and read and enjoy.

A wonderful Art museum. We especially enjoyed the American paintings which really gave a feel for our country of ages past. We also enjoyed the Impressionist paintings. By the main gift shop there is a small Student Gallery which notable, too. There are clearly some talented youth in the area. The St Louis statue out front is very regal. The main building itself of the Art Museum is the only structure surviving from the 1904 St Louis World's Fair, if I understand correctly.
