The Essential St. Louis April in St. Louis can bring chilly rain or summery breezes, but there are plenty of indoor delights this month, chief among them the colossal exhibit of recently exhumed Egyptian artifacts at the Saint Louis Art Museum. The St. Louis Cardinals get the baseball season under way at Busch Stadium, Kevin Hart comes to the Scottrade Center, Circus Flora delivers chills and thrills in Grand Center and David Sedaris holds forth at the Peabody Opera House. Be sure to visit the city's prettiest 79 acres, the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Missouri Botanical Garden

The brilliantly landscaped Missouri Botanical Garden began life as the country estate of Henry Shaw, who came to St. Louis in 1819 from Sheffield, England, and made a fortune selling hardware, tools and cutlery to pioneers passing through on the way west, which explains why some St. Louisans still refer to the institution as "Shaw's Garden." In 1851, Shaw built Tower Grove House and began developing the surrounding estate into what would become Missouri Botanical Garden, which he opened to the public in 1859.

Today, visitors enter the garden through the Ridgway Visitor Center, which houses exhibition galleries, Shoenberg Theater, Sassafras Café and the exceptional Garden Gate Shop, easily the best selection of garden-related books, gifts and accessories in the city. The garden's attractions

are so numerous, we lack the space to describe them all, but a stroll through the glorious, 14-acre Japanese Garden can at least take you past the Climatron (the garden's geodesic-domed tropical conservatory), the adjacent Shoenberg Temperate House (home to a beautiful Moorish walled garden), the kid-friendly Doris I. Schnuck Children's garden, the enchanting Chinese Garden and the William

T. Kemper Center for Home Gardening. If you take the alternate route back from the Japanese Garden, you'll pass through the English Woodland Garden, Tower Grove House (open for tours), Herb Garden, Observatory, Maze, Daylily Garden, Iris Garden, Gladney Rose Garden and the charming Linnean House (at 136, the oldest continuously operating display greenhouse in the U.S.).

Sunken Cities important Egyptian port of ThonisHeracleion and the nearby city of Canopus disappeared below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, where they have lain undisturbed and undiscovered for some 1,200 years, leading scholars to wonder whether they actually existed or were merely myth. In 1933, a Royal Air Force pilot noticed dark shapes in Aboukir Bay, leading to the discovery of several Ptolemaic Period objects from Canopus.

Some sixty years later, Franck Goddio and the European Institute for Underwater Archeology (IEASM) in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of State for Antiquities, began utilizing sophisticated technology—like the sidescan sonar, the parametric sediment echo sounder and the nuclear magnetic resonance magnetometer—to locate, map and excavate the Portus Magnus (the Great Harbour or Eastern Harbour) and parts of the two submerged cities (covering an area the size of Paris), including a trove of artifacts, statues, coins, vessels, jewelry and more—work that continues today.

More than 200 of these ancient artifacts are on view through Sept. 9 at the Saint Louis Art Museum in the exhibit Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds, including three colossal 16-foot granite sculptures of a pharaoh, a queen and Hapy, the god of the Nile flood (too tall to fit in the museum’s Main Exhibition Galleries in the East Building and so will greet vistors in the original building’s Sculpture Hall) along with ancient Egyptian artifacts from museums in Cairo and Alexandria, many of which have never been seen in the U. S. SLAM is the first North American art museum to host this exhibit of one of the greatest discoveries in the history of underwater archeology, one that has led to a greater understanding of life during the age of pharaohs. The extraordinary project has disproved accepted scholarship about ancient Egypt derived from ancient historical writings and has revised modern ones.

Freeing these objects from their watery grave is only the beginning of the restoration process that takes up to four years to complete. Among the project’s extraordinary discoveries: the stele of Thonis-Heracleion, shown here being raised from the waters of the Bay Aboukir; the colossal red granite statue of the god Hapy, shown opposite still underwater and strapped with webbings; the Statue of Arsinoe from the Ptolemaic Period (lower left); the Bull god Apis (lower right); the Black stone queen of granodiorite from the Ptolemaic Period; a 6th century BC ram of Amun engraved on both sides of a limestone plaque from Heracleion; a statuette of Osiris with golden eyes from the Late Period (664-332 BC); a bronze stauette of a pharaoh from the 30th-26th dynasty; a statue of the Goddess Taweret, with the head and feet of a hippopatamus and the breasts of a woman, of greywacke, a dark sandstone; The Awakening of Osiris (on the cover), from the 26th dynasty; and much more.

The exhibit in St. Louis is curated by Franck Goddio and co-curated by Lisa Cakmak, SLAM associate curator of ancient art. Tickets ($20 adults, $18 students/seniors, $8 children 6-12, free for children under 6) are available through www. metrotix.com.

• Jamie Adams paints large, lush canvases of carefully constructed compositions emphasizing the figure (often nude) that look like moments from mysterious narrativeas, sometimes in day-glo colors and sometimes in sumptuous black-and-white (like the series featuring actress Jean Seberg).

With imagery inspired by both cinema and art history, Adams plays with notions of high and low art. His work is represented in the

[WHERE INSIDE]

St. Louis Your Way

Park Lover

Urban Explorer

Whiskey Sipper

Love parks? St. Louis offers a stellar variety, in which one may see both art and wildlife.

(1) Laumeier Scupture Park, one of the major sculpture parks in the U.S., features outdoor sculptures by Jackie Ferrara, Alexander Liberman, Vito Acconci, Donald Baechler, Jonathan Borofsky, Anthony Caro, Niki de Saint Phalle, Mark di Suvero, Tony Tasset, Ernest Trova and many more. Keep an eye out for elk, deer, bison and other critters at (2) Lone Elk Park in southwest St. Louis County. Really, pay attention, and when a sign says to stay in the car, stay in the car. Hike to your heart's content at (3) Powder Valley Conservation Nature, whose 112 acres of oak and hickory forest are criss-crossed with three paved trails of varying lengths, one two miles long. Nature center has two levels of exhibits.

Every city is a patchwork of neighborhoods, each with its own particular vibe, and St. Louis is no different. These days, the cool kids are big on (1) Maplewood, a revived inner-ring suburb whose vibrant little downtown sports lots of great dining and fun shopping. The name of one of St. Louis' founding fathers, Pierre Laclede, is preserved in (2) Laclede's Landing, nine square blocks of 19th century warehouses that have been transformed into offices, shops and restaurants within a stone's throw of the Missisippi River. (3) The Loop, a vibrant stretch of Delmar Blvd. on both sides of the city/county border, has won accolades by urban planners for its chockablock collection of unique restaurants, performance venues, art galleries and retailers, largely untouched by national chains.

St. Louis is famous as a beer-making powerhouse (thanks to Anheuser-Busch) but is less well-known as a distiller of spirits, due primarily to the age (young) and size (small) of the city's distilleries. (1) Gamlin Whiskey House, in the Central West End, doesn't make its own spirits, but imports them from Canada, Scotland, Ireland and around the U.S., and pairs them with a classic menu of steaks, chops, chicken, duck and seafood. (2) Square One Brewery and Distillery does create its own small-batch line of whiskeys, gins, vodkas, rums, bourbons and more in its charming digs in Lafayette Square. Good food, too. (3) StilL 630 (the 630 refers to the height of the nearby Gateway Arch) turns out an awardwinning line of hand-crafted whiskeys, rums and more. Stop by, sip and take the tour.
