More about St. Louis Art Museum...

Short Description:

Originally constructed as the Palace of Fine Arts for the 1904 World's Fair, the Saint Louis Art Museum's elegant stone exterior has and always will bear the motto “Dedicated to Art and Free to All.”

Full Details:

Situated atop the aptly named Art Hill, the first museum west of the Mississippi is indeed free and houses a comprehensive collection that impressively spans nearly every culture, era, and discipline. Visitors can leisurely stroll the beautifully adorned halls, gaze upon Monet's Water Lilies, get lost among the abstract expressionists, and travel to prehistory through the mummy Amen-Nestawy-Nakht.

The Museum also offers traveling exhibitions, intriguing special events, free family art projects on Sundays, and much more. Exhibitions have a nominal admission fee, but are free on Fridays. Open Tues.-Sun. 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Fri. 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Closed Mondays. For more information, call 314-721-0072 or visit their website.
