It's housed in a gorgeous Beaux Arts building from 1900 and has some pieces by acclaimed artists such as Earnest Trova, Picasso, Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, etc. on the second floor. It's a free university museum, so don't expect to see these artists' most important pieces. The first and third floors are not as interesting unless you are particularly fascinated by the history of St. Louis University and the early colonial Jesuits. The two Allied security guards were really helpful and nice.
The museum carries a mixed collection of artists, some quite notable (a Chagall, Kandinsky, Warhol, Lichtenstein), but they are few and none particularly notable. One full floor is dedicated to the Jesuits, for those interested in Catholic art and artifacts.
What's there not to like about anything at SLU?
This is a very interesting art museum. I went with a group and we had a tour guide, she was absolutely fantastic! We talked more about the details and set up of galleries since we were all art teachers, the guide was more than happy to share all of the extra information. I believe there are 4 floors. One floor is all about SLU's history, another floor is about St. Louis and Missouri history, another has a lot of modern art from around the world, and the last one was blocked off at the time but I think it will have Asian art. I definitely recommend this to anyone especially if you love art!
Disappointing collection, lots of dirty and damaged canvasses. Rude staff, and several floors were closed to the public. A few well known artists' works turned out to be mere lithographs. Don't waste your time here!
