With so many museums at Forest Park , be sure not to miss the St. Louis Art Museum . This favorite covers much more than just art . It’s a truly visual world tour , uniting eras, cultures and continents.

Paula Madeira

Free, amazing and even the building itself is a piece of art . Takes 3h at least to see it all if you don’t go to the sleazily exhibits (that you pay for it). It is a must!

Sarah Stillman

It is free! The museum has a specialty exhibit every few months and has multiple levels of different types of art . Art Hill right out the front door is perfect for an afternoon picnic !

Ricky Hopkins, Sr

We had a great time at the Saint Louis Art Museum on today!!! With three levels, there's so rich history to see abd embrace!

The Artificial

The St. Louis Art Museum is an amazing collection of art , both old and new. While the newly-renovated modern wing is lovely, I prefer the baroque classics like St. Francis Contemplating a Skull.

SLAM is a great museum . No, it's not the best, or has an exhaustive collection, but it's stunningly beautiful, easy to navigate, and has a handful of great pieces: go to American painting .

Michael Morgan

Annual membership is relatively affordable and comes with many benefits including discounts on restaurants , cafe , gift shop , and parking ! Beautiful building located in stunning Forest Park ????

Claire Wilson

Great collection of history and art . Exhibit of Time Spy by Sun Xun is one of the coolest displays there, would highly recommend!

ElizaBeth White

Love visiting the art museum . After the visit, you can enjoy watching the paddle boats in front of the museum ...the lake there is perhaps the best view of forest park .

Aaron Williams

Making reservations in advance for a nice table in the dining room before your visit is a smart thing to do, especially on weekends. Excellent service and the food us very good.

Kaz K.

Beautiful building and surroundings. Great exhibits . Free!

Em Daggs

The Nick Cave exhibit is phenomenal and somehow more than makes up for the rest of the modern exhibit .

Moonrise Hotel

The museum has hands-on art activities and a half-hour family tour through the galleries . The theme changes every month, so be sure make multiple trips! For more insider tips, follow @MoonriseHotel. Read more

A great place to find inspiration. I come here when I need some time to let my mind wander & take in some beauty.

Beth von Behren

The Monet exhibit was great, and I really enjoyed the Max Beckmann room. SLAM apparently has the largest Beckmann collection in the world. I will go see it again. Read more

A lot of my favorite impressionists in one small, but fine art museum , which is btw are total free:)

Christopher Wiwczaroski

Special exhibits are amazing. True gem of St. Louis. From abstract, to Victorian, to African, to mummies...

Daniel Sprehe

Just like the zoo that is a short walk away, FREE ENTRY. Great place to go on a free weekend.

Shakespeare Festival St. Louis

Our neighbor in the park , see European art from the 16th and 17th centuries made during the lifetime of William Shakespeare

Khrystal K. Davis

Entry is free, with paid admission to optional exhibits . I'm always impressed, and don't visit enough.

Lindsey Hogan

Free admission to the special exhibit on Fridays.

The collection pales in comparison to the Art Institute in Chicago, but SLAM is still worth a walkthrough.

Amanda F

Plan for a whole day to see everything. Two places to eat, both pricey . Cool museum .

Sarah Boudreau

First Friday events can usually be found on Facebook and are always free and interesting.

Danny Friedman

Surprising American gem! Great selection, wonderful park . Check out the new wing.

Patrick Ayers

My best advice is to hide in the restroom until closed and everyone goes home. The mummies and exhibits come to life!

Vincent Chesney

Landmark statue of the saintly king overlooks the museum and park

I'm MexCellent

Friday is free for all ticketed exhibits and they're open til 9PM. Plus free coat check at main entrance!!
