A: Laumeier Sculpture Park offers its fantastic facilities for rental by individuals, groups and corporations for wedding ceremonies, celebrations, reunions, picnics and similar affairs, in an effort to promote our mission.  We strongly encourage users of the facilities to become members of the Park and further assist us in continuing our Education and Exhibition programming.

Q: How do you pronounce Laumeier?
A: Laumeier often is mispronounced. Between a St. Louis street named Lohmeyer, and a downtown casino named Lumiére, there's no shortage of variations. The correct pronunciation is "Lau" (rhymes with "now") - "meier" (rhymes with "higher").
Laumeier is the family name of Henry and Matilda Laumeier who were the last owners and residents of the property where Laumeier sits today. Henry Laumeier's ancestors emigrated from Germany in the mid-19th century, therefore we use the traditional German pronunciation of his surname.
