Brian and I both really enjoy visiting art museums, so we try to make it a priority whenever we travel. And, St. Louis was certainly no exception....

Located in the ground of Forest Park in St. Louis is the impressive St. Louis Art Museum. When we were reading about the collection in our guidebook, it described the museum as "holding works from just about all nations and historical eras." At first thought, I was skeptical, but now, after having spent the day there, I would wholeheartedly agree!

If you would like to learn more about the St. Louis Art Museum, feel free to visit their official website.
