Andy Warhol Museum, Art museum on North Shore, Pittsburgh, United States.
The Andy Warhol Museum is an art institution in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that spans seven floors and presents works from every phase of the artist's career. The galleries display paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, paper-based works and films that together provide an overview of his artistic practice.
The museum was established in the mid-nineties through collaboration between several foundations and the Carnegie Institute to preserve the artistic legacy in the artist's home city. Over the following decades it became a reference point for the study of 20th-century American art.
The collection reflects the approach of an artist who worked with mass culture, advertising and everyday life in mid-to-late 20th-century America. Visitors see works that portray film stars, consumer goods and political figures in a form that has become part of global visual language.
The building provides elevators, accessible entries and spaces for groups that require advance booking. A shop on the ground floor sells publications and items related to the current exhibitions.
The location was chosen because the artist was born in Pittsburgh and spent part of his childhood there before moving to New York. The building itself was formerly a warehouse whose industrial architecture was deliberately preserved.
