City Museum

While recently in St. Louis on vacation, I had one of the coolest experiences. The City Museum! This place is part art, part playground and all fun. Seems like a large group of artists were set loose on this old abandoned shoe factory and went wild creating art from "found objects" (e.g. "junk") from in and around the city. The results are amazing. The highlight was MonstroCity, which is the outdoor playground consisting of old airplanes, a castle turret, and bunch of scaffolding that you climb through, with many tight squeezes and vertigo-inducing heights. You can see our pics at Flickr (and see all "citymuseum" tagged photos) and there are loads of cool pics on their website. Better yet, go and experience it for yourself!

You can read about the City Musuem at there website. There is also a very interesting feature in Wired magazine.
