Current Exhibits
Bagatelle
Jan. 28, 2022 – Jan. 8, 2023
Before the ring of pinball machines echoed through arcades, Bagatelle was filling parlors and pockets across the world. Drawing from the private collection of Mr. Ed Nickels, Bagatelle will follow the journey of pinball’s predecessor from the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to game rooms across the country. Featuring intricately decorated and brightly colored bagatelles from the 19th and early 20th centuries, this exhibit will surely catch your eye and get you yearning for a game night.

The Wonderful World of Collecting: Dolls
July 29, 2022 – March 12, 2023
From iconic collections and popular children’s playthings to dolls from around the world, The Wonderful World of Collecting: Dolls will capture the eye of any collector.
A Brush with Immortality
Feb. 19 – Aug. 14, 2022
Before digital and film cameras, the only way to record someone’s appearance was through portraits. Portraiture is a long-established art form dating back to ancient Egypt and before. In fact, portrait murals from Pompeii have been preserved for almost 2000 years! Discover a brief history of portraiture from its origins to the selfie alongside famous examples and displays from the Museum’s collection. Then take your own portrait in the exhibit to share with family and friends!
Momentous Milestones
Semi-Permanent During Window Restoration
As the Field House Museum celebrates the 175th anniversary of the construction of the historic Field family home, we will be looking back at how we have changed since 1845. Featured on the Museum’s third floor, Momentous Milestones will highlight everything from the penny drive that saved the house in 1934 to the interior and exterior restorations that helped to earn us our National Landmark Status. Stop by the oldest privately-owned residential home in St. Louis, and we’ll share our secret to aging. It’s not every day you turn 175!
Momentous Milestones is sponsored by the following:
