…More than bricks and mortar, containers of memory, the keepers of our stories, touchstones of our common humanity—places rooted in time but alive within the complex vibrant landscape of today—a museum without walls in our midst…
Established in 2009, the Urban Museum Collaborative brings together three small, innovative museums in downtown St. Louis—the Campbell House Museum, The Eugene Field House Museum, and The Griot Museum of Black History. The evocative collections and the stories contained within illuminate the complex narrative of urban life in 19th-century St. Louis—a history that resonates in our lives today. These fascinating and sometimes heart-wrenching narratives come alive through interconnected site-based programs, educational resources, tours, and community events. Teachers, students, and visitors of all ages become engaged in “museum without walls” discovering a new landscape in a changed and changing city.
