Andy Warhol Museum

Stop on Best of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a free self-guided tour.

Pittsburgh's most famous native son is honored in grand style at the Andy Warhol Museum - the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh in 1928 to immigrant parents from what is now Slovakia. Spanning seven floors of a converted warehouse on Pittsburgh's North Shore, the museum holds over 12,000 works: paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, films, and time capsules. Highlights include the iconic Campbell's Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe silkscreens, self-portraits, and extensive archive materials. The museum contextualizes Warhol's Pittsburgh roots and the working-class immigrant world that shaped his sensibility - making it clear that the king of cool had deeply local origins. Admission fees apply. An essential stop for anyone interested in American art or culture.
