AT THE PULITZER

Mrs. C and I paid a visit yesterday to the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, a small, exquisite museum not well known outside STL. The plan was conceived by the late Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., publisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and son of the person who founded the prize, along with his wife, Emily Rauh Pulitzer. The building and its contents were based on their fortune and collection.

We will see something about the unique architecture and current show in following days. For now, I'll note that the place is open Thursday through Sunday by reservation only. You get a timed ticket and up to four people have the place to themselves for 45 minutes. It wasn't enough. We'll go back before the current show ends.
