| - I've lived in Pittsburgh for what seems like forever, and I have gone to the Warhol a zillion times. Oh Pittsburgh, we all love Andy Warhol so much even though he tried so hard to get away from this place.
I have seen some amazing bands here. The musical offerings are not predictably my taste, the styles are varied and meet a high standard. The theater is a nice setting for bands, although I've seen it near destruction with some rowdy crowds.
The post-Warhol art shows are generally impeccably curated and I always come away with fresh ideas & inspiration to return to my daily grind. The gift shop is full of surprises and cute stuff, although it leaves more of an impression when it is novel. The cafe, also, is full of novel surprises with their edible, vegetarian-friendly stylin'.
Date highlights: Making out in the most beautiful matte black & white photo booth in the city! Cuddling on the weird squishy couches! Playing in the room with the big silver balloons/clouds floating around! The cloud room is just generally my favorite. Making eyes over great food, and holding hands walking across the bridge to the North Side.
I've gone to exhibit openings here, performed here with my dance troop, attended parties, and exhibit closings. I've brought children, good friends, classmates, groups, and romantic dates here, and everyone has a good time. Some of the art on display can be explicit - like anything, you should review it first and be prepared to talk with your kids about it if they see it. Plan to spend some time in the six floors of this museum, and be prepared to stretch your mind out, at least a little, in some new direction.
