Painted in mystery and textured with intrigue, the caves of the CITY MUSEUM offer explorers of all ages an opportunity to walk, climb and crawl through the mind of a master artist. Built within a historic shoe factory's spiral conveyor tunnel system, with branches burrowing down into the earth and towering 135' into the surreal industrial space.

The caves emanate from deep within the heart of CITY MUSEUM, with branches burrowing throughout the museum space. CITY MUSEUM Creative Director Bob Cassilly calls the caves a powerful symphony, fusing muse-like sculptures, petrified dragons, convoluted stairways and crystalline bodies into a fascinating cathedral of concrete.

"Working down there was like being seven years old, laying in bed, staring at the ceiling texture and seeing faces and dragons," Cassilly said. "If I was walking through the caves and I imagined a creature in the wall, we'd put one there."
