From the youngest to the oldest, every member of the family is sure to enjoy a visit to the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. The only museum in St. Louis dedicated to contemporary art, CAM is a place for discovery and delight, where families can encounter art that is bold and unexpected—and see something new with every visit. Special programs offer even more ways to connect with the art and for families to explore their own creativity.
For those not yet able to walk, CAM offers Stroller Tours, where art-loving parents and little ones can enjoy interactive tours. At Morning Play Dates, budding artists (ages 2–5) participate in art activities, storytelling, performances, and more. Free Family Days, offered twice a year, provide opportunities for the whole family to take advantage of what the Museum has to offer. Educational, fun, and full of wonder, CAM welcomes families.
