The World Chess Hall of Fame is a museum-focused institution in St. Louis that preserves, exhibits, and interprets the game of chess and its ongoing cultural and artistic significance. It opened in 2011 in the Central West End, occupying a historic 15,900-square-foot building that houses the U.S. and World Chess Halls of Fame, artifacts from the permanent collection, and rotating exhibitions about players, games, and chess history. Through a collaboration with the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, it offers programming and outreach for local, national, and international audiences.

Its audiences include visitors, fans, players, and scholars seeking education and insight into chess.
