St. Louis City Garden

Citygarden (www.citygardenstl.org) is a marvelous new sculpture garden in St. Louis. Opened just July 1, it's the only completely open and accessible sculpture garden in the heart of an American city's downtown. It has been received ecstatically by the critics and the public alike. The New York Times saw fit to devote a full page in its Sunday, July 5 Arts & Leisure section.
