Access to All

Stone neoclassical facade with an arched window, row of statues along the roofline and a small gilded figure.

Tucked among the thousands of trees in St. Louis’ Forest Park, you’ll find the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Saint Louis Zoo, The Muny (America’s largest outdoor theatre), the Missouri History Museum, and the Saint Louis Science Center. These world-class institutions receive global recognition for their work. And all of them — and so many others around the region — offer free or affordable access to visitors. The institutions found in so many cities charge high prices for entrance; St. Louis is known for its accessibility to all.
