Saint Louis Art Galleries

(Saint Louis, Missouri - MO, USA)

The St. Louis area is home to a number of impressive art galleries, showcasing a staggering array of arts and crafts using various mediums from ceramics, wood and metal to glass, clay and gemstones. Some of the galleries in the city give visitors the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind works, including paintings, sculptures, jewelry and local handicrafts. The St. Louis Art Museum is without a doubt one of the city's premier institutions, featuring a multitude of temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

Depending on the art gallery, the kind of art work you will find may be created by local Missouri artists or international artists, and will cover a range of diverse subject matters. Many venues in St. Louis are housed in unusual settings, such as the Laumeier Sculpture Park, which is spread across more than 90 acres / 36 hectares of parkland, and the Mad Art Gallery, whose home is rather surprisingly a funky Art Deco Police Station.
