Editorial Review for Andy Warhol Museum – by David C. Madden and Manny Theiner
The Scene
The Warhol, which houses many artifacts from Andy's life, is much more than paintings of Campbell's soup cans. The museum shows temporary exhibits by other artists and hosts lectures, educational programs and art happenings--including occasional bands and the ultra-swank Good Fridays happy hour.
The Collection
There are seven floors in the Warhol, with a basement cafe for post-art snacking. Floors six and seven are temporary spaces, open to the numerous exhibits the Warhol hosts every year. The third floor holds the Archives Study Center, filled to the brim with everything you need to learn anything about the white-wigged man himself. There are more than 4,000 pieces of Warhol's art in the collection, with 500 pieces displayed and rotated in the exhibit halls.

This is such a fantastic museum that really catches the spirit of the artist. Fun and friendly, not to be missed.

Everything, and I mean everything Andy has done is here, right down to his doodles. The average person will seem overwhelmed with it, but any person that loves art must see one of America's and Pittsburgh's best artist. Don't go on a weekday during school hours thinking it will be quiet. There are a lot of noisy kids on school trips. Tell them about the floating pillow balloons and then run the other way.
Pros: art
Cons: field trips
