Museums & Galleries in and near Pittsburgh, PA

By its popular nicknames—The Steel City or the City of Bridges—it's easy to picture it as a land of only architecture and industry, but art, history, and science thrive in Pittsburgh museums. Chief among Pittsburgh attractions are the Carnegie Museums, composed of the Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Science Center, and Andy Warhol Museum. They’re not the only repositories of art and knowledge in town, though. The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh teaches guests about physics, illusions, and gardening through play while the Toonseum chronicles the art and history of animation and comic books in America.
