Understand art at The Saint Louis Art Museum

It’s incredible that the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) offers free entry when you consider what’s inside; with about 33,000 works that span time and cultures, visitors get a dose of history, sociology, anthropology—the list goes on. Permanent collections include works from Africa, Europe, Islamic art, art of the Pacific Islands, Native American art, and much more. In the sculpture garden, patrons can walk the paths and observe how landscape design and master sculpture harmoniously combine. Select exhibitions and events might have a cost associated, but for the most part, your experience here is free.
