Forest ParkThe beautifully landscaped Forest Park is larger than New York's
Central Park and its leafy grounds are filled with attractions. The
acclaimed St Louis Art Museum has a magnificent international
collection of art, covering works from prehistoric times to
contemporary, and houses one of the most extensive collections of
German Expressionism worldwide. The St Louis Science Center
features life-size dinosaurs along with displays and interactive
exhibits on the environment, aviation, technology and more. There
is also an OMNIMAX Theatre and Planetarium. Thousands of animals
roam the beautiful grounds of the St Louis Zoo, with indoor and
outdoor cageless displays, and a Living World Exhibition features
an animated robotic figure of Charles Darwin who summarises his
theories on evolution. The Missouri History Museum documents life
in St Louis with old photographs and displays on river life, black
music and western expansion.
