## About

Overlooking Forest Park's Grand Basin from the crest of Art Hill, the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) provides free admission to one of the nation's premier encyclopedic art collections, spanning ancient Roman armor, Impressionist masterpieces, and contemporary installations. In winter, its grand climate-controlled galleries offer an inspiring, warm cultural sanctuary for parents and curious kids.

Every month, the museum hosts Family Sundays from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM featuring free drop-in art studio workshops in Sculpture Hall, hands-on Create Labs, and 30-minute interactive family gallery tours guided by museum educators. Strollers are welcome across all three elevator-connected levels, and families can borrow art discovery sketchpacks at the information desk. Clean ADA restrooms equipped with changing tables and quiet lactation spaces are situated in the North and East buildings.
