FOX2 — At Venice Café in Benton Park, the work of mosaic artist Sharon von Senden is everywhere, from the floor to the ceiling. Von Senden died Sunday at the age of 83. Her handiwork has been seen by thousands at Venice Café and in Downtown St. Louis at City Museum. “It’s like a Lay potato chip; you get started and you can’t stop,” von Senden said in 1996. “I’ll never get any place with this. I’ll never be a famous person. But when I’m not here anymore, somebody will have this, and it will be proof that I was alive.”

KSDK — Sharon Von Senden, the self-taught mosaicist behind the expansive and intricate mosaics at St. Louis’ City Museum, has died. She was 83. “She wanted to spread beauty and share it with everyone. She wanted to be part of something greater than herself,” said her daughter, Amy Von Senden.

KSDK — Visitors could bring their jack-o-lanterns and leftover gourds and fling them from the 10th-floor balcony. Prizes were given to those closest to the target.

Luxury Travel Magazine — City Museum, a one-of-a-kind attraction housed in a former shoe factory, offers massive slides, climbing structures, and repurposed architectural elements that make it as much an art project as a play space.

Vocal — The City Museum is not… really a museum. It’s like if a playground and a junkyard had a baby and then gave it a sugar rush. There are slides (the 10-story one is wild), tunnels, caves, random art installations, and an old school bus hanging off the roof.

Financial Times — Artist Bob Cassilly’s incredible playground made from salvaged bits of construction equipment at a vast former shoe factory in St Louis for the City Museum is, I think, a work of genius, as engaging as any contemporary artwork and bringing far more pleasure.
