The Fine Arts palace was one of the few buildings constructed for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair that was meant to be permanent. The Cass Gilbert building remains as the St. Louis Art Museum. 
The patron saint statue of King Louis IX of France, sitting high on his horse stands before the museum. Originally it was designed by sculptor Charles H. Niehaus for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. In 1906, the statue was reproduced in bronze and placed sitting ontop of Art Hill.Cake artist - Rich Brooks
