Complexity by Design Bus Tour

November 16 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join guides from the Missouri Historical Society’s See STL Tours for an interactive bus tour of St. Louis sites that will explore the city’s built environment in relation to public health and public policy. Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Design Agendas: Modern Architecture in St. Louis, 1930s–1970s, these tours will visit key sites and engage participants in discussion.

Participants will meet at the Kemper Art Museum and will join one of the below bus tours. Groups will return to the Museum for a closing facilitated discussion and to share a communal lunch.

Free and open to the public. Registration is required.

Led by Amy Miller, program manager, Medical Student Education Program, Washington University School of Medicine.
