Carnegie MuseumsIn 1895 Pittsburgh industrialist Andrew Carnegie established an
Institute, which he intended to improve and educate local people.
Today his ideal has been realised in the form of a collection of
four museums funded by the Carnegie Institute: a Museum of Art,
Natural History, a Science Center and The Andy Warhol Museum. The
Carnegie Museum of Art on Forbes Avenue has a notable collection of
contemporary art that includes film and video works. The adjacent
Natural History Museum takes visitors time-tripping through the
wonders of planet earth. The Carnegie Science Centre at Allegheny
Avenue offers planetarium and laser shows and a variety of hands-on
activities and exhibits for old and young. The final museum in the
Carnegie bouquet is the Andy Warhol in Sandusky Street, featuring
extensive permanent collections of art and archives relating to one
of the most influential American artists of the 20th century.
