City Museum: A 10-Story Former Shoe Factory Transformed into the Ultimate Urban Playground #makereducation
Absolutely dying to go here! Definitely check City Museum out if you’re in the St. Louis Area.
Photos and write up from Colossal:
Housed in the former home of the 10-story International Shoe Company, the sprawling 600,000 square-foot City Museum in St. Louis is quite possibly the ultimate urban playground ever constructed. The museum is the brainchild of artist and sculptor Bob Cassilly who opened the space in 1997 after years of renovation and construction. Although Cassilly passed away in 2011, the museum is perpetually under construction as new features are added or improved thanks to a ragtag group of 20 artists known affectionately as the Cassilly Crew.

Absolutely recommend it! The staff who work there building things are all amazing makers, too. Skilled craftspeople, but always experimenting, always willing to try something new. I know there happen to be some adafruit parts buried in a few of the exhibits a friend of mine works on!
