City Museum: The Puking Pig?

Here's a Wall Street Journal article about the quirky City Museum in St. Louis:

Recently, the museum installed video cameras to document accidents and discourage bogus claims. A sign near the admission gate gives the names and phone numbers of law firms that have represented people who sued the museum, blaming them for a 9% surcharge recently added to the cost of a ticket.

The City Museum is absolutely fantastic. You need to take a ten year old boy with you, though, for the full heart-stopping experience. It's been a few years since we were there, but during our visits they had acrobat shows, clown shows, a glassblowing demonstration in a workshop where glass artists worked as you watched, and many art project groups in progress where kids could just sit at the table and join in. An indoor skateboard park, insane climbing and crawling spaces, and so many things to do it was impossible to be bored until everyone were exhausted.

Ted,

You've convinced me. I mentioned your comment to one of my business partners. He's urging some relatives in the area to get to the museum.

Thanks!

Michael
