For this week's Roaming St. Louis segment, KMOX host Scott Jagow visits downtown's 21c Museum Hotel. It just opened this summer and brings a new spirit to an old YMCA building on Locust Street.
The boutique hotel is flush with thought-provoking contemporary art and Missouri-related artworks in all 173 rooms. 21c is also driven by community engagement, focused on generating dialogue around important issues.
Scott speaks with Director of Community Impact Christopher Randall and Museum Manager Angie Villa.
