About

The Missouri History Museum in Forest Park showcases the history of St. Louis and Missouri with rotating exhibitions, family-friendly galleries, and frequent public programs. Operated by the Missouri Historical Society, it occupies the 1913 Jefferson Memorial Building with a modern Emerson Center addition opened in 2000 that includes the 332-seat Lee Auditorium; general admission is free. Its Forest Park setting places it near other major attractions, and the venue regularly hosts talks, film screenings, and community events.
