via Art museum marks Gateway Arch’s 50th anniversary – The Edwardsville Intelligencer : News.

St. Louis has some marvelous examples of mid-century architecture, the most amazing of which is the Gateway Arch by Eero Saarinen. To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Arch, the Saint Louis Art Museum is presenting an exhibition of modern design that includes a 1954 Corvette and mass market design, plus many objects and artwork.

What a nice tribute to the marvelous Gateway Arch and the incredible genius of Eero Saarinen. Saarinen created so many beautiful objects such as the TWA Flight Center which I have previously written about:
