Saint Louis Art Museum

One of the most beautiful museums that I’ve had the privilege to visit. The artifacts and the art there are so beautiful. There’s so much to do in this museum. I absolutely love every area and inch of this place. You find the most unique and exquisite works of art to gaze upon! Fun for the whole family. Love it! This is definitely a bucket list, location.

Free museum that covers 3 floors of exhibits. We saw everything - and it took from 10:15 AM - 4:45 PM. I'd recommend 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. Many volunteers that are helpful. We covered close to 5 miles in the building and the sculpture garden. Easy to skip a section that is of lesser interest. There is a very wide variety of art.

It's great. You'll need more than a day to see everything they have to offer. The building and grounds are gorgeous even in the winter. The weekend was crowded and parking was scarce because so many people were there to sled the hill across from the museum, on fresh snow. Went back during the week which was much better. It's so great parking and entry are free.

Melanie and Brain (staff)was excellent (included the coat check lady with the beautiful dress and the lady that scanned my ticket). I am grateful for the experience of the art museum. The art was speaking, but are there anyone listening.

This place is truly a St. Louis gem!!! I could literally spend all day in that museum. Just observing and appreciating all the amazing artwork throughout there!!! Wow! Some beautiful history!!! I absolutely loved being able to see a Monet in person. I have seen them on TV a lot of my life and it was amazing to witness it in person for myself!!! I also really enjoyed the Asian art exhibit such intricately detailed pottery and sculptures that were just breathtaking!!! Those were some very amazing pieces that I resonated with a lot with!!! I also really enjoyed the European 16th century exhibit as well!!! I can't wait to go back and explore more!!! I'm really looking forward to the Native American Art exhibit for my next exploration there!!!

Dedicated to art and free to all. 🎨 Visitors should be understanding of the staff. There has been a movement to destroy art. The staff isn’t there to appease you. They are there to protect the art. 🖌️ If you have the time, checkout every nook and cranny. Outside, the building is adorned with interesting touches. 🎨Art still has truth. Seek refuge there.

The St. Louis Art Museum is an absolute treasure, and the best part is that admission is free every day! On Fridays, the featured exhibits are also free, making it a perfect time to explore. The museum itself is spacious, with multiple levels of fascinating art and an exterior garden that’s just as impressive. After exploring, you can unwind in the gift shop or enjoy a bite at the café. Whether you’re an art lover or just looking for a cultural outing, this museum is a must-see. Highly recommend!

The museum is amazing but be sure to know they begin to clear you out 30 minutes before posted closing time. I'm sure it is to close on time but I was unprepared to begin being asked to leave the museum exhibits at 4:30. Also the gift shop closes promptly at 4:30 so go there early if you want souvenirs!
