Located in beautiful Forest Park, the Art Museum is one of the bright jewels of St. Louis. As standard as the Arch, the St. Louis Art Museum is a city staple for culture, history, and entertainment. The museum’s mission is to collect, preserve, and present high quality art for the inspiration and education of the viewing public. Whether you are an art expert or an average Joe, true art is meant to elevate the soul and birth human discovery, to make you recognize something in yourself or in your world.
The St. Louis Art Museum possesses collections from all over the globe including African art, Islamic, Native American, Asian, European, and art from North America. Nearly every art movement in history is represented including Renaissance art, Impressionism, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism and more. View medieval European armor and weapons then trek the galleries to see Titian, Hans Holbein, George Caleb Bingham, and Vincent Van Gogh. Travelling artwork and historical pieces expand the variety and diversity of the museum and allow for grander, more comprehensive exhibitions.
Small groups may take advantage of the daily docent-led tours of the museum or larger groups may book a private group tour. Take advantage of one of the program or workshop options to broaden your experience even further.
If you are interested in booking a venue for a special event, look no further than the Art Museum. Get married in the Sculpture Hall, have a reception next to David Chipperfield or Max Beckmann originals, or book the 1,600 square foot auditorium for your important business presentation.
Art museums are a spectacular destination for group trips no matter the age or group dynamic. Both educational and fascinatingly entertaining, art has been a medium of historical continuity since the first cave painting. Come to this gorgeous museum and look back in time and into the future.
