  • In the interest of full disclosure, I used to work here, and I was one of the unsmiling hipsters yelling at you to keep your grubby paws away from the art. Sorry about that--it costs money, man! Don't let it bother you--just know that we're as unhappy yelling at you as your are getting yelled at. When I come as a visitor, I also get yelled at so...what goes around comes around. That being said, I love visiting this museum. I'm kind of an Andy Warhol superfan, and I love the incredible amount of paraphernalia they have surrounding his life as well as his art. They've periodically had lectures and talks by some of Warhol's associates as well--I remember breathlessly waiting to see Brigid Berlin, his best friend and a very talented artist in her own right, speak at a lecture when I was in high school. The museum also has interesting rotating exhibits by contemporary artists, many of whom draw inspiration from Warhol's work. And they're opening Warhol's Time Capsules (fancy name for the cardboard boxes he used to keep various odds and ends in) now...I heard on NPR they found a mummified foot in one of them, so that's a...thing. I think there's a lot to keep kids interested here. Kids just seem to naturally be attracted to the bold colors and shapes of Pop Art. The Silver Balloons are a longtime favorite for children and adults alike, and there's the Saturday Factory in the basement, where volunteers teach Warhol's techniques, like silkscreening and blotted-line drawings, to young people. Make sure you stop in the basement and take photos in the vintage photobooth as well! Knocked off a star because it IS really expensive. The Carnegie museum system needs to sort out its admissions situation, because most modern museums throughout the world do NOT charge this kind of money. But I think this is a $20 museum, honestly. The cafe is great--if they still have the mushroom melt, I highly recommend it. Take some time after you visit the museum to walk along the Allegheny River and see the bones of the old Pittsburgh, with the repetitive golden images of saints in its churches and its corporate logos writ large on the sides of buildings, that inspired much of Warhol's work.
