About Saint Louis Art Museum

The Saint Louis Art Museum sits at the heart of Forest Park, a premier cultural destination in St. Louis. Known for its 2013 East Building expansion by David Chipperfield and a rich history dating back to the renaming of the City Art Museum in 1972, the museum blends classic and contemporary experiences. General admission is free, with special exhibitions requiring tickets. The campus offers multiple event spaces, dining options, and convenient transit links.
