Henry Shaw – The Good Neighbor

This video is an introduction to Henry Shaw, an English businessman who was drawn to frontier Saint Louis, who sold hardware (ironworks) to westbound settlers, who made a fortune early in life, and who decided he had sufficient wealth to spend the rest of his life indulging his passion for botany and formal gardens. The video concentrates on Henry Shaw&#8217;s legacy: the scientific but beautiful Missouri Botanical Garden; the adjacent Tower Grove Park; and the adjacent residentially-affordable Shaw Neighborhood. Saint Louisians consider these institutions just another part of Saint Louis Missouri&#8217;s landscape, but Saint Louisians forget that elsewhere people pay premium prices (e.g., around NYC&#8217;s Central Park) to live within a green environment. The video highlights Henry Shaw&#8217;s 21st Century legacy: a scientifically-significant botanical research institution bundled within a beautiful green environment.

A New Leaf – Reimagining Henry Shaw’s Museum

It is one of St. Louis’ most historically significant buildings. And one of its most forgotten. But after more than a century of decline, Henry Shaw’s museum is once again the Missouri Botanical Garden’s gallery, thanks to a multi-million-dollar restoration that was filled with challenges no one anticipated, and discoveries of treasures no one knew existed. Documentary filmmaker Paul Schankman spent 18 months following the museum’s remarkable rebirth, “A New Leaf: Reimagining Henry Shaw’s Museum” tells two stories; one, about the painstaking effort to bring Shaw’s museum back to its original glory; and the other, how the building reveals the history of the garden itself, as it grew to become one of the finest in the world.

Go behind the walls and back in time as you follow the remarkable restoration of Henry Shaw's museum on the grounds of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Zugunruhe Experience: Leave the Nest, Spread Your Wings, Soar the World
The word Zugunruhe is a term derived from the German language that is best used to describe anxious behavior found within migratory birds seeking to take flight. Many of us have felt this same feeling at some point in our lives when things feel stagnant and a change needs to happen. At Zugunruhe Experience, we are the change that students have been seeking.
Zugunruhe Experience does not just offer student travel programs for some students, we offer student travel programs for every student.
