National Blues Museum

I loved everything about this museum. The history, the art, the fun activities. The only disappointment I had was that all the stations to create our own blues album weren't working, so I never got my completed album via email even though we did all the working stations. They do a curated gallery that one can only assume they change out with new artists. It is a fairly new addition to downtown. Take it all in, watch all the videos, take lots of pictures, and read all the history. Well worth the admissions fee, but you do get $5 off admission if you eat at Sugarfire (attached) BEFORE you visit the museum (see the bottom of your food receipt).

Very nice exbits and artwork. Well done history of blues in America. Self guided tour takes about 45 min. to a hour. I gave this only 3 stars because I think the entry price of $30. is a little steep and I was hoping to pick up something form the gift shop but it had little to nothing of interest to purchase.

Husband and I enjoyed learning about the history and the correlation with so many great musicians we love. We came in on a Sunday morning while in downtown. Museum took about an hour to get through. I especially loved the art gallery of the “Queens of Blues”!

A great little museum where to learn about St. Louis cultural legacy and blues roots. Very well presented collection of items and interactive displays allows us to understand a little closer the meaning of blues. Highly recommend and a great place for children. Not to miss!

Visited today for a live music performance and some Christmas shopping at the gift store. The staff and volunteers are fabulous, very welcoming and helpful. The concert was fantastic, held in an intimate room with tables and chairs, sound was very good. We didn’t visit the Museum exhibit this time but will definitely return🙂

Small but so well done! So many interactive exhibits you can spend hours just playing around with those. Several great films to watch. Great displays and the staff were wonderful, over the top friendly! I was very surprised with the gift shop. Finding a gift shop that is not overpriced is a shock these days. If you are in the city make the time to stop in. Totally worth the time. Plus the location is great for food and drinks afterwards.

I so enjoyed the interactive exhibits and history. A must visit spot if in town.

Incredible way to spend an afternoon! Give yourself more than an hour so you can read and listen all you like. So much history. Great tunes. Interactive exhibits. Reminders of musicians you've loved and forgotten over the years. The museum is taking COVID precautions and you're asked to book tickets starting at a particular time and to wear a face mask. The employee at the front desk was so genuinely sweet and really brightened my day.
