Every Thursday and Sunday afternoon, take a 25-minute “all-inclusive tour” of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, exploring all its wonder and complexity. The home base for this talk is the mind-boggling 1:400th scale model of the Fair that shows every one of the more than 1,500 buildings that spread over Forest Park in 1904.

One of our knowledgeable visitor experience guides will introduce you to some of the Fair’s most colorful characters, from David Francis to Geronimo. Plus, answers to the five most commonly asked questions about the Fair. This tour meets inside the “1904 World’s Fair” gallery on the Museum’s north side.
