The Saint Louis Art Museum collects, presents, interprets, and conserves works of art of the highest quality across time and cultures; educates, inspires discovery, and elevates the human spirit; preserves a legacy of artistic achievement for the people of St. Louis and the world; and engages, includes, and represents the full diversity of the St. Louis community supporting it.
The Saint Louis Art Museum was founded in 1879, at the close of a decade that saw the establishment of art museums in great cities across the eastern half of the United States. What began as a collection of assorted plaster casts, electrotype reproductions, and other examples of good design in various media rapidly gave way to a great and varied collection of original works of art spanning five millennia and six continents. Today the quality and breadth of the Museum’s collection secure for it a place among the very best institutions of its kind.
Schlafly Beer - The Saint Louis Brewery™ is proud to be MO's largest locally owned independent brewery; brewing over 70 styles of craft beer each year. When we opened our doors in 1991 we had no business plan but we did have a vision: To make great beer and great food and try to have fun doing it. Twenty-plus years on, our business plan is still almost as simple as our original vision: To make a wide variety of great beers, sell as much as we can in our local market, and throw great parties. We are first and foremost a local brewery selling within roughly a 300 mile radius from the breweries. This gets our trucks there and back in a day, keeps the beer at its freshest and creates minimum carbon footprint. For now, Schlafly Beer is available in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Washington DC.
