Reviews
"It is a very interesting museum. I truly enjoyed the two current exhibits (Feb 2024) and learned a lot about chess and its history in St. Louis. The third floor has interactive intros of the current grand masters. Unfortunately, the system encountered technical difficulties when I visited on 2/25/2024, but I looked up the life stories of some grand masters on Google after the visit. It was a good introduction, and I appreciated the information. Recommend 30-45 minutes to visit."
"The chess museum location was terrific. It was great, it was free. I wish there were more stuff for chess to look at. But for the most part, it was pretty sweet. Three floors, each floor had An era of chess With a fine art aspect of how chess was in everything overall. Pretty good place to visit and look at and support. Great for people who love chess or people who are just interested in chess in general. It's a great little museum. The area around is pretty lovely as well. For kids, they have great chess Floor for them to play. Pro: Free Beautiful Not overwhelming packed Con: Wish it was a little bigger"
"Fantastic place to learn and enjoy! The exhibits are fascinating, the building is charming, and the staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Give it about two hours, check out the chess club across the street, and enjoy lunch or a drink at one of the many places nearby."
"Good for one time visit. The large chess piece at the front with the chess board is a good site to take a few photos/ selfies. The museum itself is small and it feels more like a chess-related art gallery. There are some innovative chess boards and art pieces. However, there is nothing about Hall of Fame; I didn't see any exhibits of photos or artifacts of famous chess players. No chess history either."
