Just for a day trip to Pittsburgh, I had to try out the Andy Warhol museum. I was pleased surprised with a lot of his artwork that I was not aware of, like his “blotted ink” artwork and seeing how he collected a lot of common items and collectors items!

I loved how easy it was to follow the art and I would definitely bring your significant other or a good day trip!

Was able to visit for free as a museum employee, but I’d definitely have found it worth it for the price! Comprehensive collection and thoughtful layout + wall text. They also offer a few tours which are very worth the time, I had a great time learning from Cate about Andy’s early work. Super cool activities in the basement where you can print your own shirt with Andy’s designs which is such a unique keepsake

I was not that familiar with Warhols works other than his famous iconic works like Campbell soup and Monroe, so I was curious to see his other styles of art, especially his abstract series. The museum is 7 floors and there are a lot of interactive things to take in. My favorite floors were 4 and 2. My favorite pieces were the typewriter and the white gem stone. Im really into minimalist expressions right now. I only had about a 1.5 hour in the museum, but you could easily spend a few hours and really learn about his life. It had a really large gift shop and there was a coffee shop. Both are free to the public. I think after 5 on Fridays they have date night events and admission is half off. It's closed on Tuesdays right now. I was going to go on a Tuesday because my birthday was on a Tuesday. My most interesting take away was his involvement in music and the velvet underground. There was a biography about Nico that looked interesting. I may read it in the future. I don't know if I resonate with their music, but I found their sound interesting as well as the story of Nico and Andy Warhol. You can get a museum pass for 75 a year that lets you into four area museums which is a great artistic investment. The Warhol museum is one of the 4 museums included in the annual pass. You can also get a free day pass for 4 with the rad pass summer program if you have a library card and sign up on the rad website.
