  • Ok, so my vision of Pittsburgh has always been natives Rusted Root playing on every corner and not much else besides steel stacks, 3 rivers and The Andy Warhol museum. So happy to find I was completely wrong. This city is pretty great, but yes, Pittsburgh and Warhol have always been synonymous in my mind. This museum has been on my wish-list for as long as I can possibly remember. Being a HUGE fan of Andy, coming here was a dream of mine come true and it was bigger and better and more special than I ever imagined. Floors and floors and rooms and rooms filled with one of my biggest inspirations was...heaven!!! I previously knew about Andy's childhood and background, but still very much enjoyed seeing it all neatly and chronologically organized on the walls. I thought I've seen all of his early work, come to find out here, I had not even seen half. I absolutely LOVED the interactive exhibits which kept my littles entertained. Stand outs would be the silver cloud aka silver balloon room, the videos on how to reproduce India ink and Dr Browns ink prints on tracing paper. The screen test which gets emailed to you and done in perfect mod fashion and my absolute favorite which I found hard to leave, the "Factory". The loud, psychedelic music, oversize, comfy white couches and retro images projected onto the white walls came together perfectly taking you back to those NYC 60's days. It was as close as I have or will ever get to that life and it was pure magic for me. He was a truly fascinating man regardless of whether or not you like his work. He was part of a generation that impacted this world today. He is a part of Americana. If you're into pop art or any art for that matter, give it a go. Early sketches and paintings are great for those not too into screen print. As I stated, there is some interaction to keep your attention if you think you will tire of Brillo boxes and soup cans. For any true Warhol fan, this is an absolute must visit! We came on the last Friday of the month which is half priced admission after 5pm The gift shop is pretty sweet as well! Not just Warhol. A bunch of cat stuff and other artists as well. Definitely take a peek around after your visit! We parked in the lot diagonal from the museum for a mere $8!
