Andy Warhol Museum

Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the place of Andy Warhol's birth, The Warhol is one of the most comprehensive single-artist museums in the world. Andy Warhol, the son of an immigrant Carpatho Rusyn laborer who came to work in Andrew Carnegie's steel mills, developed his skill as a young artist at the museum and library that Carnegie donated to the city.

What to Expect:
The collection at the Andy Warhol Museum includes more than 4,000 works of art by Warhol including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, films and videos, and a massive collection of Warhol's "time-capsules" - boxed records of the artist's day-to-day dealings and penchant for collecting. While dedicated to Andy Warhol, the museum also hosts rotating exhibits by artists who push the boundaries of art, just as Warhol did.

The Warhol Archives:
In addition to art works, the Andy Warhol Museum is also home to the greatest single collection of ephemera documenting Warhol's life and interactions. The archives are available for research to scholars and the general public in the Archives Study Center, and serve as a primary resource on the artist, the time period and pop culture.

Good Fridays:
Every Friday evening the Andy Warhol Museum is open late with a cash bar in the entrance gallery and special programs such as small theater performances, films, live music and wine tastings. Half-price regular Museum admission from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Shopping at the Warhol:
The Warhol Store, located off the entrance gallery on the ground floor, sells a wide variety of Warhol posters, books, clothing and apparel, videos, postcards and gifts. You can also shop at the Warhol Store online at www.warhol.org.

Dining at the Warhol:
The Warhol Café, open to the public without Museum admission during regular museum hours, serves seasonal light fare and beverages, including soups, salads, sandwiches, home pastries, wines and microbrews. If you want something more substantial, there are many nice North Side/North Shore restaurants nearby.
