Missouri History Museum

For more than 150 years, the Missouri Historical Society has collected and preserved St. Louis artifacts – objects that future generations can use to make sense of the past. From photographs to textiles and machinery to instruments, select items are now part of a permanent exhibition at the Missouri History Museum. “You might think you know St. Louis,” Hattie Felton, director of curatorial affairs and curator of fine and decorative arts at the Missouri Historical Society, says, “but Collected shines a new light on the city’s history.”
