Last weekend my girlfriend had to make the four-hour drive from Kansas City to St. Louis for a graduate class. I'd never been to St. Louis, so I tagged along. I had a whole day to wander this foreign city alone and I'd heard friends mention St. Louis' City Museum, so I stumbled in on a whim. I didn't really know what it was.
Suffice to say, it was the greatest museum experience of my life--and I'm from Washington, DC, the Mecca of American museums. In St. Louis of all places! It boggles my mind why the City Museum isn't famous worldwide, let alone outside St. Louis.
