  • Pittsburgh excels in the arts and the Carnegie Museum of Art is no exception. Your admission ticket covers both the art museum and the museum of natural history which will be reviewed separately. If you are a AAA member you get $1.00 off admission. Admission is free if you attend some of the local universities in Oakland. They honor reciprocal memberships as well. You are given a hanging wrist band which must be displayed while you are on site. They have a special exhibition on the main floor called the art of Michael Williams which I got to see on a previous visit. Upstairs in the Sarah Scaife galleries you will find different works from middle age European to modern impressionism. There is also furniture, antiques,door panels, ancient Egypt, and sculptures on display. There is also modern untitled pieces. One room has all the paintings "numbered" but there is a guide in the middle that describes each piece. The art gallery includes the Hall of Sculpture which show some replicas of the best European artwork surrounding the 2nd floor. The Hall of Sculpture has been used in movies and is worth a look in itself. There is also an app you can download to your phone to learn more about what the art gallery has to offer. I did not get the opportunity to see the Oriental section since it is easy to get lost in the galleries but will do so on a future visit. Among the artwork I was looking for was "Road to Emmaus" which is the original painting that was replicated in the Henry Frick Mansion at the Frick Museum on Reynolds St. Some of the other pieces that got my eye were "war bride" a portrait of Sarah Scaife, and one of Andy Warhol. The art museum isn't overly large but to cover the galleries in detail takes about 2 hours. Best of all feel free to take pictures. Most museums will allow you to take pictures without flash but here you can use your flash if need be. The museum has a gift shop with various art gifts and if you are into sketching some of the works then you can do that as well. The art museum has a beautiful stairway entrance where you can see a few sculptures or just hang out. Make sure to tour both museums if you have the time because it is well worth the money.
