Elmslie and Sullivan
City Museum has captured the swansong of the Chicago School of Architecture in its final terra cotta ornament. This exhibit showcases original architectural pieces from buildings of Louis Sullivan, considered the father of modern architecture, and George Grant Elmslie, who was Sullivan's chief draftsman for nearly twenty years and later an important architect in his own right.

This permanent exhibit is located on the third floor in Architectural Museum. Admission is free with City Museum admission. Read More

Circus Camps at City Museum
Join the circus that is City Museum by joining one of Everydaycircus' Circus Performance Camps for ages 8-18. Camps start at the end of June and run through the end of August, and each session lasts two weeks. Student/teacher ratios are low, so each camper gets loads of individual attention. Hurry, camps fill up quickly! To reserve a spot or for more information, please call Jessica at (314) 436-7676.

And, of course...
City Museum is always looking for donations of stuff--and, if you have large (or small) amounts of old crayons, we'd be happy to take them off of your hands. We've got a crayon art project idea brewing. Questions? Comments? Send 'em to info@CityMuseum.org
