Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis

My wife and I went to the Saints Louis Art Museum on a Saturday a little before noon. It wasn't very crowded at all. It definitely feels more like an art museum than an art gallery which I think I prefer. Lots of art ranging from paintings, pottery to medieval armor and mummies. I had read it would take about 2 1/2 hours to see everything, well after 5 hours, we still hadn't seen everything. This place has a lot to see, and if you take your time it can take up a whole day. We really enjoyed our visit here and will definitely be coming back in the future.

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.
