City Museum

Almost every StoryCorps participant in St Louis told us not to miss the City Museum. Pictured here is the Monstrosity, a tremendous outdoor playground fashioned out of scrapped vehicles and salvaged architecture. On weekends the museum stays open until 1am- we stayed to close the place.

The inside of the museum is a maze of tunnels and elaborate passages. The building, once a shoe factory, now houses a variety of wonders including a circus, underwater caves, a dinosaur dig, and the dramatic 2-story system of slides shown here.

Facilitator Rani Shankar considers taking the plunge in the Monstrosity.

Twilight Tuesdays

Every Tuesday night, the Missouri History Museum hosts a free outdoor concert at sunset. This week, a crowd turned out to hear St. Louis’ own L.L.C. perform some classic soul.

L.L.C. sings “Love Train” as we watch from the (love) Airstream.
