A group from Explore St. Louis visits the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum’s Impact Lab in late October.

The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum is now offering free admission to active-duty military personnel and their families for the entire summer. This initiative is part of the museum’s participation in the Blue Star Museums program for the second consecutive year.

The Blue Star Museums initiative provides opportunities for military families to explore cultural and educational institutions all across the nation, at no cost. Military personnel and their families, including members of the National Guard and military Reserve units, can visit any Blue Star Museums for free through Labor Day on Sept. 2.

“We eagerly await the arrival of active-duty military personnel and their families at our museum this summer,” said Haley Stodart, Associate Director of Education at the museum. “We share our deep appreciation for the selfless service rendered by those brave individuals in uniform and the unwavering support provided by their families.”
