Museum

In 1895, Andrew Carnegie, the Scotland-born philanthropist and titan of the steel industry, founded the Carnegie Institute, now Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, alongside Carnegie Library in a shared building in the heart of the Oakland neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Conceived as a gift to the city and dedicated to the pursuits of art, music, literature, and natural science, Carnegie’s “monument,” as he called it, immediately became one of the most significant cultural institutions in the nation. The Institute is but one of many existing institutions, foundations, and endowments that carry on his philanthropic legacy to this day. Carnegie Museum of Art is one of four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, along with Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Science Center, and The Andy Warhol Museum. Together, the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh strive to preserve and expand the resources of art and science as agents of personal growth and social advancement in Pittsburgh and beyond.
Carnegie Museum of Art creates experiences that connect people to art, ideas, and one another.
