The permanent part of the exposition displays the history of St Louis from the time of Native Americans. There are some videos and audios and interactive exhibits. I found that the storytelling part is a hit-and-miss but overall pretty informative. I liked the temporary exhibition of ST Louis architecture. Well structured and interesting from both architecture and history standpoint.

It's a relatively small museum showcasing the naval aspect of the US military history starting from the revolutionary war. It is located inside an operating military base, so visitors need to get the pass - a little bit of a bureaucracy, a little more for the non-us citizens. Took us about 20 -25 minutes to get the pass. The volunteer who greeted us at the door was very welcoming and gave us helpful directions and a nice overview of the place.
