We took a mini-vacay last weekend to St. Louis to do some kid stuff. I looked online at
The City Museum and thought it definitely looked like fun for the kids. When we walked through the doors, I was completely blown away. I was immediately reminded of the architecture of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi. The City Museum is made from recycled materials found within the city-- little items pieced together to create a kid's fantasy land- there's old machinery, planes, tile. It's mosaics remind me so much of the melting wonderland at
Parc Guell in Barcelona.
Here are some shots I took upon entering:
Some more great images of The City Museum
And here's a small taste of Antonio Gaudi:

Photos don't do either place justice. Truly magical.
I found Barcelona in St. Louis!
The City Museum is definitely one of St. Louis' treasures. It's supposedly for kids, but I certainly had fun there as an adult. : )
