Carnegie Museum – Pittsburgh
Carnegie Museum of Art creates experiences that connect people to art, ideas, and one another.
The museum began as the vision of Andrew Carnegie. His initial concept was to create a museum that would bring the world to the people of Pittsburgh. More than 125 years later, the museum is a living archive rooted in both the past and present with a collection of over 34,000 works of art.
