 Located on the North Shore
of Pittsburgh, The Andy Warhol Museum is a vital forum in which diverse audiences
or artists, scholars and the general public are galvanized through creative interaction
with the art and life of Andy Warhol. The Warhol is ever-changing and constantly
re-defining itself in relation to contemporary life, using its unique collections
and dynamic, interactive programming as tools. One of the four Carnegie Museums
of Pittsburgh, the Warhol is a collaborative project of the Carnegie Institute,
Dia Center for the Arts, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.
Opened in 1994, the Museum features extensive permanent collections of art and
archives on one of the most influential American artists of the twentieth century.
It is also a primary resource for anyone seeking insights into contemporary art
and popular culture.

About
Pittsburgh
As the convergence point of three major rivers — Allegheny, Monongahela
and Ohio — Pittsburgh was once described as the “only city in America
with an entrance.” Pittsburgh is often identified by its iron and steel
industries, but many don’t realize that it is a clean, scenic river community;
and the only U.S. city rated among the top five “Most Livable” in
three editions of the "Places Rated Almanac." Visitors can stroll through
the renovated 19th century Station Park, now home to a bustling mix of restaurants,
nightclubs and shops. Families can take in The Andy Warhol Museum, Mr. Rogers’
Neighborhood at Idlewild Park, The Pittsburgh Children’s Museum, and Kennywood
Park. Sports fans can follow the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. And for a step
back in time, the city offers two operating inclines: Monongahela Incline (1869)
and Duquesne Incline (1877).
