I probably hadn't been here since grade school and was so happy we decided to go on a whim to see the new grounds and museum. The entrance and lobby area are very modern looking. You do have to go through a lightened version of airport security to get to the museum, but it's free.

Many of the exhibits are interactive with more traditional ones mixed in. It covers history from the early civilizations of the area up to current day. Obviously a major section dedicated to the building of the arch. Highly recommend a trip here. It was fairly crowded on an overcast Sunday afternoon in Nov.

Parking in the area is tough. Maybe we just didn't know where to go, but we were off-street several blocks away.
