City Museum

Let's enjoy some SPRING BREAK fun at the City Museum. Meet us there and we can all get in for $6 per person. I've got to put all the tickets on one bill, so we all need to meet at the same time. Let me know if you are coming so we can make plans. Welcome to CITY MUSEUM, where the imagination runs wild! Housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company, the museum is an eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects. The brainchild of internationally acclaimed artist Bob Cassilly, a classically trained sculptor and serial entrepreneur, the museum opened for visitors in 1997 to the riotous approval of young and old alike. Cassilly and his longtime crew of 20 artisans have constructed the museum from the very stuff of the city; and, as a result, it has urban roots deeper than any other institutions'. Reaching no farther than municipal borders for its reclaimed building materials, CITY MUSEUM boasts features such as old chimneys, salvaged bridges, construction cranes, miles of tile, and even two abandoned planes! "CITY MUSEUM makes you want to know," says Cassilly. "The point is not to learn every fact, but to say, 'Wow, that's wonderful.' And if it's wonderful, it's worth preserving." If you've never been before this is a must do. Please let me know in your note if 10:00am doesn't work for you. We all need to be there at the same time to get the group rate.
