Missouri History Museum

I enjoyed visiting this museum while on a recent trip to St. Louis. The best part is that admission is free! With so many venues charging for admission these days, it is refreshing to see that the Missouri History Museum does not. Of course, you can make a donation and I suggest that you do to keep this gem free for everyone. They have a new exhibit called the Mighty Mississippi which is very interesting as well as informative. I highly recommend visiting this museum while you're in St. Louis.

Just amazing. All paid for by tax $$ of the citizens of Missouri. Finally to see money well spent in the pursuit & restoration of our nation's history. Amazing artifacts. Could spend all day and really never get to take it all in. I cannot Wait to go back. Definitely a must see attraction, especially for lovers of history.

Completely under appreciated we found a new love for this institution. I found my favorite part was the static 1903 World's Fair exhibit and the interesting info outside on the grounds. This place is fantastic and a great resource for all humanity should be proud of this one so don't take it for granted.

The clubhouse is a great asset for any parent. My two year old loves it, especially the train table. The cafe upstairs has pretty decent lunch and snacks.

Delightful! Beautiful building! Lots of parking. Kid friendly area. The award winning photograph exhibit was moving. World's fair exhibit was so cool. And I loved the made in St. Louis floor.

A few months ago I came here to interview a knowledgeable employee of this museum about a report for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. I spoke to a very nice and knowledgeable man named Dan Dillon. Dan answered all of my questions and was very friendly. They also have a very good gift shop. One thing I didn’t like was the St. Louis Post Dispatch Photo display. Some of the photos were very disturbing. I see no need for something like this and wish that they had more family friendly displays. Other than that I have no complaints! Great museum!

This was my first time in and it was really incredible! The Spirit of St. Louis replica plane is what we discussed and focused on!

Should be named the St Louis History Museum. The displays deal with St Louis history. The displays are interesting and informative. The artifacts are mostly typical and illustrate some aspect of St Louis history. The flow of the experience is not organized simply by time, but by subject.

If you want to get a glimpse into frontier history especially the role of French explorers this museum is a must visit. It's also free and the museum shop has some really artful souvenirs.

Excellent history museum! The only thing I regret is not visiting first thing when I got to St. Louis. I say this only because I feel that visiting would've...read this and 79 more
