Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh

Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh is a complex of four institutions in the city: the Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History, the Science Center, and the Andy Warhol Museum. Collections range from dinosaur skeletons and gemstones to contemporary paintings and interactive science installations.

Andrew Carnegie founded the original building in 1895 to give workers and their families in his city access to knowledge. The Warhol Museum was added later in 1994, expanding the network with a space for modern art.

The Carnegie name reflects the steel industrialist's belief that public education should open access to art and science for everyone. Visitors today find programs across the galleries and exhibition spaces that invite families, school groups, and adults to engage with collections.

Admission to the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Art is through a combined ticket at the same location in North Oakland. The Science Center and the Warhol Museum sit at separate addresses and require their own tickets.

The Dinosaur Hall at the Museum of Natural History displays more than a dozen complete skeletons, including one of the largest Tyrannosaurus specimens ever mounted. Visitors stand directly beneath the bones that stretch from floor to ceiling.
