The Museum affords visitors of all ages and opportunity to explore a re-purposed would be full of unbelievable interactive adventure! Creator Cassilly says: “City Museum makes you want to know. The point in not to learn every fast, but to say, “Wow, that’s wonderful. And if it’s wonderful, it’s worth preserving.”
