St. Louis is home to a plethora of highly-regarded and popular museums — the Saint Louis Art Museum, the St. Louis Science Center and the City Museum, to name a few. But St. Louis is also home to another world of museums you may not know about: quirky and small “hidden museums” operating on a tight budget and with a slightly smaller inflow of visitors.

This summer, St. Louis on the Air will introduce you to a few such museums in the region as part of a recurring summer series. You’ll also hear about other hidden museums that exist nationwide on Morning Edition later this summer.
