Soldiers Memorial Military Museum shares American military history from the pre-Revolutionary War era to today through the lens of St. Louis. This state-of-the-art museum is housed in a beautiful art-deco building. Outside, the Court of Honor includes monuments to those who lost their lives in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
Soldiers Memorial officially opened on Memorial Day in 1938. It features four monumental groups of sculptures by artisan Walker Hancock that represent courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and vision. Hancock, a native St. Louisan, served in the US Army in World War II but is perhaps best known for being one of the Monuments Men, tasked with protecting and recovering cultural and historical artifacts from wartime damage.
