Hey families of St. Louis! Yes, you read the title correctly— it is National Go to an Art Museum Day! We are so lucky to live in a city like St. Louis that offers many different forms of entertainment, including beautiful art museums. Here is a list of the different options that you may know about or never knew existed:
The St. Louis Art Museum in Forest Park
Pulitzer Arts Foundation in Midtown/Grand Center
Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum on the Washington University Campus
Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis in Midtown
Museum of Contemporary Religious Art on the Saint Louis University Campus
Saint Louis University Museum of Art
All of these museums are beautiful and have awesome exhibits . But I would like to also add in alternative places that you wouldn’t necessarily think to look for art or the art is exhibited in a different way.
Laumeier Sculpture Park in Sunset Hills
Citygarden Sculpture Park in Downtown
Central Library in Downtown
But we can’t ignore the art that is before our eyes living in major city, and that is the murals and graffiti that you will see driving through the City of St. Louis. You may think that this isn’t art, but there are some awesome ones that just make you stop or slow down to really take it in.
The Cass Greyhound Murals on Cass Avenue
Graffiti Wall Robot Skeleton on Chouteau
Mandalas on Macklind
The Grafitti Wall in Downtown
For more beautiful murals and graffiti walls in the St. Louis area go to @muralsofstlouis on Instagram. There are so many pieces of art that you never knew about and didn’t know you needed to see. So please get out there and enjoy all the amazing art that this city has to offer. There’s something out there for everybody!
