The banner advertising Twilight Tuesdays hangs on a building that was itself built as a monument. The Missouri History Museum occupies the Jefferson Memorial in Forest Park, St. Louis, a Beaux-Arts structure designed by architect Cass Gilbert to honor Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase. Its origins trace to the city's celebrations surrounding the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904, the world's fair that transformed the park. The fountain in the forecourt and the lively banner show how the building still serves as a public gathering place, a role that has continued long after the fair closed.
