City Museum Founder Bob Cassilly Killed in Bulldozer Accident

If you’ve ever visit St. Louis and not gone to spend an afternoon at The City Museum, you’ve missed an opportunity to visit one of the strangest, most interesting destinations on the planet. Less a museum than just a strange collection of miscellaneous things, usually made of metal, patched together across multiple-stories, it’s a fascinating and utterly bewildering place to spend time in. Unfortunately some sad news this week about its founder, Bob Cassilly. The artist was killed on Monday in an apparent accident involving a bulldozer on his follow-up to the City Museum, a much larger public art project re-purposing a former cement factory called Cementland.
