City Museum - St. Louis, Missouri

We know--traditional museums can be so stodgy. That's why we're constantly revamping City Museum's museum-in-a-museum. Keep stopping in to check out curator Bruce Gerrie's ever-expanding collection of architectural relics and the new permanent exhibit, "Elmslie and Sullivan", featuring original pieces by two of the most important American architects. http://www.citymuseum.org

The Jehning Family Lock Museum opened on September 10, 2005. Today you can visit one of Northern California's largest collections of locks and keys.

Each time you visit the Museum, you might explore a completely different exhibit, from historic local locks and keys, to ancient treasures from near and far, and everything in between. And you'll discover the fascinating and often surprising roles that locks and keys have played in history, story, theater, and daily life. Also visit our gift shop.
