The Saint Louis Art Museum had some big names on our list in its collection, so we carved out a few hours for a visit.
The museum’s founding goes all the way back to 1879, when it was an entity within Washington University. However, it had to spin off in 1909 in order to get the tax credits that make admission free.
The museum today has more than 34,000 objects in its collection, which it continues to actively add to. While I am always happy to see Impressionist paintings, I admit there wasn’t anything especially standout in the group.
While at the museum, we were able to see the Matisse and the Sea exhibit, which is covered in a separate post.
The cover photo to this post is a Pablo Picasso I liked, which doesn’t happen every day. Pitcher and Fruit Bowl, 1931.
