Carnegie Museum of Art

Carnegie Museum of Art, founded by industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1895, is Pittsburgh’s premier destination for modern and contemporary art. Known for its strong collections of American and European painting, sculpture, photography, and design, it also hosts the Carnegie International, one of the oldest global surveys of contemporary art. Highlights include works by Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, and Charles “Teenie” Harris, plus rotating exhibitions that connect art with current issues. The museum shares a complex with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, making it easy to pair visits. Centrally located in Oakland, it’s ideal for art lovers and curious travelers.
