NO pass needed.Houston | $850,000 A 1930 Tudor Revival house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, on a 0.1-acre lot Regardless, the coffee shop in there is open to ALL and they have food. Locals: awesome coffee and a real nice place to unwind with an annual pass. It's near the stadiums and there is a beautiful walk next to the river should you chose. Enjoy.Ĭonclusion: if you are visiting Pittsburgh, you have to go. And, to boot, the stuff in there is worth a ton. Regardless, I don't know art very well, but, the staff is awesome, it's really a fun museum, and I do highly recommend it. Sometimes I get stuck staring at and reading letters in the archive room. Lately I have been enjoying the Velvet Underground exhibit as a place to unwind for a few minutes. I will often go there to visit a certain piece that I thought was interesting, maybe watch a documentary, generally, just to relax and buy a coffee on the way out. The reason why I say that is I have an annual Carnegie pass, and work right next door. (2) The Review: I like this museum a lot, and it's growing on me. Toss in another museum or two, and even for tourists, the annual pass might be worth it. Attending this museum with 2 adults and 2 kids will set you back somewhere between $50-$75 depending on kids age for one visit. (1) Preamble to the review: are you visiting this museum as a local, or tourist (YaY! Welcome to an awesome city), and how many Carnegie museums do you plan on visiting over a year or during your visit? The reason why I ask, is a family membership is roughly $160 at the time of this review and includes a year membership to this museum, the Carnegie Science Center (bomb, visit, especially with kids!), Carnegie Museum of Art (pretty cool), and Carnegie Museum of Natural History (awesome). If you are a Warhol fan or want to learn more about the 60s-80s or are just looking for a cool way to spend a few hours in AC, I would definitely recommend this!! There are mixed medias as well - video, ballons, paintings, taxidermy, etc. ![]() There is a good mixture of Warhol's life and his work, which was also interesting. I love how much they devoted to the velvet underground. ![]() ![]() I love affordable little interactive souvenirs like this! Was such a fun way to remember the experience. My favorite part was, in the basement of the museum, you can screenprint a Warhol design for free on paper, or for really cheap on a bandana, shirt, or tote. That being said, the way they have the museum organized by decade, and the several attempts they made to have interactive portions, kept it as engaging as possible. 7 floors devoted to one person is a lot, and I think my brain wanted a little more novelty/diversity? I was lucky enough to go to this museum in August when they were offering free admittance to visitors.
