St. Louis Art Museum

Visiting the Saint Louis Art Museum


Another wonderful place to visit, within Forest Park in St. Louis is the St. Louis Art Museum. Not only do they have wonderful works of art inside, but the area around the museum, called the Grand Basin and Art Hill, are also quite beautiful to see. The pictures seen throughout this post were taken this spring.

Admission to the art museum is always free, with the exception of special events. And with three floors of art on display, you won't quickly run out of great art to view.

In addition to mainstays on display at the museum, there are frequently traveling displays or special exhibits in the main exhibition area. Viewing the special exhibits does require a ticket, but you will find it is worth it. You may discover a membership is more cost effective if you want to see multiple exhibits in the year.

Entry to the St. Louis Art Museum

Membership at the art museum gets you unlimited, free entry to see special exhibits, as well as reduced parking fees at the underground garage, and some other perks. Although there is garage parking available for a fee, there is typically plenty of parking in the nearby lots for free.

Current Exhibit at St. Louis Art Museum


Currently, the exhibition on display is Millet and Modern Art. This exhibit features many works from Jean-François Millet and others, whose art was influenced by Millet. Some other artists featured include Van Gogh, Dalí, Seurat, Pissarro, and many more. I highly recommend seeing this exhibit, while you can. After reopening, the art museum has extended the dates of this exhibit through Labor Day, September 7, 2020.

If you have any interest in art, whatsoever, the St. Louis Art Museum has something for you. You don't have to be an art history buff to enjoy your visit. However, you may learn a thing or two on your visit, as you enjoy strolling through the museum and viewing beautiful works of art. The St. Louis Art Museum is one of many gems I recommend seeing if you visit St. Louis, Missouri.

Snow Goose Hunt

Light Goose Conservation Order Hunting with Neu Outdoors Thanks to the Light Goose Conservation Order , and with the guidance of Neu Outdoors , I recently went on a hunting trip for snow, blue, and Ross's geese with some friends. We had a great time and I wanted to share more about my experience. Why Snow Geese? These light geese, including the snow goose, blue goose, and Ross's goose are very populous. In short, there are too many of them and they are destroying their nesting grounds in the arctic tundra. That is where the Light Goose Conservation Order comes into play. In order to protect the land and the other wildlife that depend on the habitat, this conservation order creates a special season for light goose hunting with lessened restrictions. During this special late-spring season, hunters can enjoy hunting for these light geese with the use of electronic calls and without any bag limit. Where Was the Hunt? We traveled to southeastern Missouri, to...

Las Vegas - First Time Visitors

Image
Whether you love the party atmosphere, go for the gambling, or are a bit skeptical of Las Vegas like I was, that city really does have something for everyone. Outside of the neon lights and extravagant hotels and casinos, Las Vegas is a convenient place to fly into on your way to numerous destinations, including Hoover Dam , Zion National Park , Grand Canyon National Park , Death Valley National Park , and much more. As first time Vegas visitors ourselves, let me share some tips we found useful: Go during the week. To avoid the extra crowds and get better rates at hotels, book a stay on the strip during the week, where you can easily walk to many places you want to see. Walk into and browse the different hotels and casinos. Each one has a unique theme to attract visitors. It is free to browse, but be aware, you can find it difficult to find your way out sometimes. There are lots of one-of-a-kind attractions all along the strip. CVS and Walgreens are your friend. If you do want to ...
