Event Details

Whether you're interested in the arts, science, history, or just need a spot for the kids to play and learn a thing or two, St. Louis has a museum for you. In fact, St. Louis has lots of museums for you.

This talk will show the audience the grand array of museums we have in the St. Louis area: from the small museums (saxophones, beer brewing, mastodons, fire engines) to the large world-class museums. Our oldest museum is from 1881; our newest museum is from Spring, 2024.
