I think it is so cool that this is free. You could definitely spend an entire day here. It houses so many different styles of art and it is huge...three floors full of art theres an outdoor sculpture area. I went on a Saturday and didn't have to wait. Everyone that greeted me and at the desk was very helpful. When you enter you are technically on the second floor. Go check it out!

This is one of St. Louis’ gems and I love that it is free and easily accessible. Whether you’re looking for the perfect date night spot or it’s a rainy day and you need something free and indoors to do - this place is it! The museum is clean and well maintained and the staff are friendly and very informative about the exhibits. Many of the newer exhibits are interactive and accessible to those with visual impairments - creating a safe place for everyone to come and enjoy art. Right outside is the famous Art Hill where you can enjoy the view of Forest Park and have yourself a picnic and enjoy this little slice of St. Louis heaven. It‘a also within walking distance of the St. Louis Zoo - another free and famous St. Louis attraction.

One of the best museums I've visited in St. Louis. It hosts many special works of art, you meet many civilizations around the world. In my opinion, one day is not enough if you want to benefit from its full potential. Personally, I would have liked to find more information and objects related to local creators, current or past.

First-class free museum (except for special exhibits) with something for everyone. Classics or modern, painting or sculpture, this museum has it. We were impressed with the very good, helpful explanations for each piece. Lots of free parking and a stunning view over Forest Park. This is definitely a sampling of "everything art." - From classic paintings, famous artists, and cultural art ranging from a variety of American Indian cultures to Egyptian to the various art revolutions, and even modern art, this museum has it all. Various furniture pieces and fully furnished rooms of historical times give the viewer a sense of what a room would look like during the period of time and location portrayed. It has so much, I could see visiting and focusing on particular aspects and needing to come back multiple times to appreciate all that they have to offer.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does SLAM still have significant works by George Caleb Bingham?

Jerome Scanlan | Mar 1, 2018
Wendy Lochrie | Mar 2, 2018

The short answer to this question appears to be, no. In 2015 there was a fantastic exhibit of river artists that included George Caleb Bingham's work. However, I cannot find a listing of his work in the SLAM currently. That does not mean that there isn't ANY of his work there ; they just don't seem to be advertising it at the moment. I hope that helps.

Brandy Biedenharn | Mar 1, 2018
Karla Richardson | Mar 2, 2018

Yes it is but no flash can be used and be careful not to step in or over the tape on the floor in front of the exhibits...they're there to keep people from getting too close and touching the artifacts...and there's guards everywhere to remind you!! It's a free way to spend the afternoon and so many interesting things to see!! Have fun!! Sincerely, Karla Richardson
