Carnegie Museum of Art

I LOVE this museum! It is big and full of history to look at and read about. I went there a few years ago for a college project and spent all day in there learning and seeing all sorts of things I wouldn’t have ever thought about. I can’t wait to come back some time! Also beautiful architecture

A great way to spend the day! And the third floor has a new exhibit .....dinosaur armor!

Great experience. Kids of all ages will like it. If you like architecture, dinosaur stuff, animals, bugs, history ect. You will have a good time. So much to see and do. Recommend the membership so you can do the science center as well.

So much awesome and unique stuff. The Roman statues and styled rooms were something Ive always wanted to experience

My mom and I really enjoyed this Museum! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. There are three floors to explore and we enjoyed every bit of it. Parking was a little hard because the Museums parking lot was full, but even with construction we found a place pretty easily.

One of my favorite museums. Most of their dinosaur skeletons are REAL, not casts or reproductions. Fabulous collections of classic dioramas, local geology, gems and minerals, and so much more! Can easily spend an entire day here.

Not the top museum, but you can see many dinosaurs and also the paintings of Van Gogh and Monet!

Amazing collections....one of the must visit museums in d world....well maintained and very informative ....great experience..need almost a day to tour all galleries...visiting again soon

Im going to the museum since I was 12 and its a playground for me and I share photographs on Instagram# #kjrhelfrich... this is at the entrance of the Sarah scaife Museum and one time they took down the painting behind it and I got very upset I just love having this juxtaposition

Loved this museum. You have a great combination of exhibits ranging from dinosaurs, mummys, reptiles, architect, and some new ones as well. The museum admission fee is fairly priced. It may take up to 2 hours to see everything. If you have children this is a great spot to take them as there are some interactive exhibits as well.

Well maintained and very informative ....great experience. Awesome place for a family person

We thought this was a fantastic natural history museum. There is a lot to see, but the minerals was our favorite. It just endlessly goes on--in a good way! The dinosaurs were neat, as was the Egyptian exhibit. I would recommend!

Great facility for learning of all ages; we will return!

This museum is amazing!! They’ve got everything! The exhibits are so well done! You could spend 2 full days to see everything!! It’s HUGE!

Awesome place to take the family! There is so much you could spend hours!!

Beautiful Museum!Friendly Staff!Clean & Organized!Lot of natural history and artGreat learning experience for kids and adults as well.Members get $5 discount for parking.

Carol S. Made our visit amazing. I asked her one question and she gave us so much information I felt I was part of a paid private tour. She should get a bonus for being amazing. The dinosaurs were pretty great too.

Beautiful Museum inside and out. Went for the Dino exhibits and couldnt be more pleased. Thank you to the Carnegie family for your wonderful work!

Had a wonderful experience with my 9 year old for his birthday. The dinosaurs were a big hit, as well as the current exhibit of live reptiles. Parking was easy on a Sunday morning. Prices at the gift shop were fantastic! Highly recommend for families.

Sheer bliss. Since 1989! A veritable cornucopia of bounty. Ive been visiting museums across the world since 1980 - I guess this has to count as my favourite because its adjacent to my campus (Carnegie Mellon); and because it is, by any yardstick, exquisite!

Place was spectacular, with plenty of exhibits to keep you occupied all day. The botanical hall showcased local fauna, and the dinosaur hall displayed plenty of fossils to explore, including the first known example of a metastatic tumor. There are plenty of taxidermied animals to enjoy as well

There is so much to see at this museum!! A lot of walking but there are so many exhibits that you forget about it. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have. Nice on site cheap parking. One of the best that I have ever been to.

My 4 year old son loves learning about the dinosaurs. Their Reptile live show is pretty great for $3! The reptiles were lively and interactive. We are members and go often.

One of the best place to visit family and kid(s).

The museum itself is great and very much full of interesting things to see. The reason for my low score, however, is entirely due to the staff that works there. While most of the staff were welcoming and helpful, there were several that were just downright rude bordering on unprofessional behavior. My asthmatic wife was literally yelled at for going through a wrong door and there were several other situations where I noted very rude receptions from other staff members. More so than you would think possible. Definitely to the point where I felt angered by the treatment we received and definitely felt as though some of the staff could do with some training in customer support. I dont know if it is due to covid that maybe they are on edge or what but regardless we still managed to have a great time despite these few incidents. Probably wouldnt have said anything had it just been a single incident but after it happening multiple times, I just began to wonder why they couldnt say things nicely or attempt a more professional attitude with paying customers. If I was only rating the museum itself it would probably be 4 to a full 5 stars but counting in the experience as a whole, 2 seems appropriate.

A great place to take the kids to learn about history! When we go, enough to see that we spend the whole day here. Excellent dinosaur display and new Dinosaur Armor exhibit was worth it!

Nice selection of modern and other eras of art. Mostly paintings from the other eras, modern art contained multimedia pieces. The museum didn’t have a great flow to it, some of the areas had to be doubled back through to move on. Some beautiful pieces contained, including a Monet.

I loved this museum, not too huge but it has almost everything. Dinosaurs are spectacular. We are impressed by everything we saw. Everyone can find something for themselves. Quite and peaceful. My favorite part was art

We have travelled widely across 40 countries and all 50 states. Yesterday on October 27, 2018, we drove from Ohio to visit this museum in Pittsburgh. It is one of the very best. We liked the art collection, especially the American landscape painting and the impressionist collection. We do not like contemporary art, but for the folks who do, they have quite an assortment. Co-located with the art museum is the natural history museum, and it too, is outstanding. The mineral collection is quite impressive, and the lighting is excellent (no glare, easy to see and photograph and more). If you like dinosaurs, the T-Rex skeletons are amazing. It was a cold, rainy day, and this was the perfect place for us to visit.

Ive never been even tho Ive frequented the Natural History Museum a lot and I have been kicking myself since I first visited CMOA. Its a must see if visiting Pittsburgh and even if you live here. I went during covid, in July, the museum spaced out visits so everyone could social distance and the staff in the halls were informative, helpful and the nicest people around.

Cool and all but price should be reduced some if their going to close a lot of the interactive exhibits

I loved this museum. Great place to spend the day!

A world class museum! We are blessed to have the Carnegie in Pittsburgh. There is an abundance to see and do here. At the holidays, the Christmas trees in the Hall of Architecture are a must see as is the immaculately detailed statuary of the nativity in the same room. Currently, there is a special exhibit, “We Are Nature: Living in the Anthropocene,” in the Simmons room on the top floor of the museum. It is among the most thoughtful and thought-provoking exhibits I’ve seen anywhere. If you leave without feeling moved to question the consequences of humanity’s affects in the world, you’re probably not really living. The best part about the Carnegie is how each space is designed to have you interact with the material. You could easily spend weeks (or years as we have with a family membership) getting to truly see and know all the museum has to offer. There are bathrooms throughout, coatcheck, gift stores, and even a very good restaurant within the space. The Carnegie is a Pittsburgh gem!

Such an awesome rocks and minerals exhibition. Worth the trip

Went for my daughters 18th bday. It was magical. Very nice

Tim Pearce is the nicest man alive. Give him a raise!!!

This place is fantastic. I cant remember how many times Ive been here and I discover something new every time I go. The gem and mineral collection is amazing. Some of the displays are dated though. The dinosaur folssils steal the show. From the big t-rex to the little archaeopteryx, there is so much to see. The taxidermy freaks me out a bit, I wont lie. Especially the hall of dead birds, as I call it. Though the dodo is fascinating. The ancient Egypt collection covers a lot.One day isnt really enough for this museum. Doing it in the same day as the art museum will cause you to rush through both.

It was cool. Something to do. It wasnt super exciting! I love museums. But it seems they are trying to fit a lot in to a small place.Do know you cant even wear a small drawstring bag. Its considered a backpack! Then you have to pay extra for the Poison Gallery...Not too much for kids. There is 1 area where they can touch items but not a whole lot.I just feel it could have been more to it.Im just glad we were able to use our military discount.

I love coming to the museum. It is one of my favorite places to go to. I love the gems I could spend hours just there alone. My 12yr old daughter loves going also we make it a mother daughter day. I also like that they have little activity station set up. I can not wait to go back again..

So many exhibits! We have visited in the past but recently visited because our kids are now old enough to really appreciate it. We ended up buying a membership because we couldnt see it all in one day. My 9 year old is a budding paleontologist and loved the dinosaurs. She cant wait to come back and watch through the window of the restoration window in the dino exhibit.

I’ve never been here but they have one of my favourite tiktok accounts. Everyone on it is so passionate about what they. are teaching, and Tim’s snail jokes give me happiness in these boring times.

Outstanding a must see if youre visiting Pittsburgh. The new exhibit is great.

Spent hours here and still needed time! Loved the Dinosaurs & Gems! Actually, we loved it all and hope to return.

Something for everyone. Bonus, not crowded today (July 4th)!

One of my favorite places in Pittsburgh I love getting lost in the past; dinosaurs, mummies, precious artifacts, and the most exquisite art. A truly city gem. The events are totally cool and fun.

I feel in love with their collection of minerals and gems. The price to visit both Carnegie museum of art and Carnegie museum of natural history is very reasonable. Recommending!

Wonderful museum. We really enjoyed the exhibits. Lots of great dinosaur bones and skeletons to look at and enjoy. Definitely a hit with kids. The geology areas were well done. Lots sparkly rocks to look at as well as the history of the surrounding area of Pittsburgh

This is a museum of art and history. Located in Oakland. You can spend hours here and just be blown away by all of the show cases items. There is art from Pablo Piccaso, Vincent Van Gogh, among others. There are many activities for the children to part take in. Arts and crafts, really allowing the children to be apart of the museum. This year it is free on every third Sunday of each month. Highly recommend this for a good educational trip or just to get out and change the scenery some.

This place is HUGE. Depending on how much you love art, its possible to spend 5 hours here and still not get around to seeing everything. Honestly, check out the exhibit lists and prioritize your route.

The management consists of campers who arent sure what they are doing. For example, they made a security guard the head of marketing? Someone thought he was a nice guy so they gave him a job he wasnt qualified to take. The management degrades people with more skills than them. The behind the scenes areas that you work in arent that nice. If you have skills and get an interview, they wont send you a response back or let you know if you got the job or not, theyll just leave you hanging. They insult people who applied for jobs who have more skills than the managers because they feel threatened by them. They dont pay well either.

I loved it I saw some good photos And pretty good historical stuff a good place to go to

Endless rooms filled with all kinds of informative learning experiences. Very clean and well organized! I went on the RADIcal day this year and I would definitely go back again. Even though I spent hours there, I dont feel like I got to take everything in, and will need to return, which I will gladly do.

I love the Carnegie Museums so much, ever since I came to Pittsburgh for school Ive gotten to visit every once in a while and I am so thankful to live so close to this beautiful place, I cant say enough good things. Today I had an experience that truly made me realize what lovely people work at the museum. Last time I visited, I had made a remark about a dinosaur shaped pen I was given to sign in, I really wanted one but went around to the museum store and couldnt find any. Today, I went to the museum and signed in with the same pen, I remarked to the worker how much I loved it, and once i was done they gave me one and said here you go! It was just a little gesture but meant the world to me. Thanks for always going above and beyond!

Wonderful art museum!!

Loved it. Lots of great pieces to see.

I have lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and have been coming here for years. I would say that I come here with my family about 2-3 times a year (we are members but my son loves the Science Center more at this time in his life so we go there at least once a month).I really enjoy the Hall of Egypt and the Hall of Gems. The radioactive stones are a favorite. I also love the Lions and the Dromedary diorama. I actually was at the grand unveiling back in 2017. I thought it was neat to be a part of that. However that event was plagued by speakers who we’re letting personal bias get in the way of academic presentations. Regardless, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event and I am happy to have been a part of it.Back to our visit today, my son loved the Polar Exhibit and the Stratovator and I love watching him enjoy himself.Thank you guys for all you do.

Have to go to an After Dark event! The Harry Potter one was awesome!

Great place! Been there multiple times. Lots to see. We usually stick with the dinos but explore the entire museum. We spend many, many hours there. Only DOWNSIDE is food is overpriced especially after the amount you pay for admission. This isnt out of the ordinary however compared to other museum food areas. Food area staff were very strict (and i feel rude) and didnt allow my then 4 year old to sit and eat his snacks because we werent paying customers of the food area. Though there was no signage stating this... Save money. Pack your food/lunch. When its time to eat, head out to your car, eat, and return back in.

Must visit!Beautiful museum,big collection,you can visit also museum of history,highly recommend this museum

Ok okay.. but Dinosor and minerals section is huge and detailed.

It was a safe and interesting visit to the Museum.

I absolutely love this museum and Im very into art. This is a great place to take your family of all ages. They have the artistic half of them and then the history with all the animals that little kids would enjoy. Over all a pleasant experience. Only reason I am giving 4 stars was because when I went, half the museum was blocked off due to remodeling. Thats not their fault, they are just updating everything so people can enjoy. But it was just a little disappointing because it was my boyfriends first time there.

Egyptian exhibits, precious gems and geology finds, dinosaurs, history of Native Americans, etc. a place for kids to make believe they are paleontologist. Certain Sundays are free!

Good place to spend a few hours, I liked the museum of natural history, which has a nice exhibit about birds. Didnt like the art museum as much though.

Wonderfully maintained. Beautiful old building. A gem that everyone should visit at least once!

Very extravagant. Good place for a date, family, friends and kids.

There is an amazing collection of cool exhibitions. From the gems of Earth, to the dinosaur fossils, to the representations of ecosystems and scenes. I spent three hours there and was unable to visit everything.

One of a kind! Thoughtfully programmed to create a better user experience. The architecture exhibit is a unique opportunity to better explore the detail and proportions of some of the most iconic works of the ages. They feature changing exhibits too if youre a regular visitor. Something for everyone here.

American Indian Exhibit is a must see. Beautiful.

Great place to visit in Pittsburgh, with world class dinosaur exhibit, sparkling gem collection, traditional taxidermy and updated Polar and Native American wing just some of the highlights in this space.

A really historical building thats beautiful inside.

Absolutely fantastic! Youre going to need more than a day to see everything!

Wonderful museum! Plenty to see - way too much to take in in one day. The lower level dinosaur exhibit was pretty crowded and there were a lot of kids. The architecture hall, as well as the second and third floors were significantly quieter and less crowded. I recommend going on a Saturday - it seemed like there were fewer people the later it was in the day.

What a fun visit! My partner and I dropped by yesterday around 11 am and didnt leave until 5 pm closing time and STILL didnt see everything we wanted to! We did take our time in our favorite places, the hall of minerals and the impressionists section of the fine arts museum. The entire place was gorgeous and I could see this being a great way to spend a day for all ages and purposes. Students looking for inspiration, young adults on a date, a family visiting the city, a rainy day activity, you name it. Thanks, Carneige!

My girlfriend used to work at this museum and I used to walk through the museum multiple times a week. I can still go to this museum and have a great time no matter how many times Ive been there!My favorite part of this museum would probably be the architecture section. There are very interesting blueprints and designs and most of them are even local!

Great museum! Exhibits are very well put together, informative and interesting! Will definitely go back again!

I had a great time walking through the museum. Good entry price for the vast collection on display

Beautiful museum with many exhibitions.

What a wonderful place to explore

Awesome place for kids. Relaxed, safe, entertaining.

One of a good fine art museum.

Took my son for his first time and he loved it!! Love the information we were provided with about the dinosaurs.

Wonderful museum which is connected to CMOA (art museum). The dinosaur exhibit is very popular, as well as the Egyptian architecture room. My favorite is the gemstone and mineral exhibit! Beautiful rocks, gems, and jewelry!

The food was great but the staff does not take care of the customer properly

The place was great but the staff does not take care of the customer properly

OK, the museum is awesome, really awesome, so my review is going to be nit-picking.#1 The maps were awful and the directions to navigate the building were worse. It took us 20 minutes and asking two people to learn that we had to walk through the gift shop to enter the museum. This is my most serious criticism of the visit.#2 I had not visited since the early 1970s and I really miss the old hall of dinosaurs. It was cool. The new format looks like every other museum#3 The building that houses the museum is as awesome as the museum itself. I dont feel that they respect it the way they should . What an awesome place to put collections, even if it was designed for an entirely different way of presenting historyOn the positive side (and remember I am not addressing the exhibits which were amazing)#1 The people were amazing. We took two tours with top notch guides and spoke to one of the spotlight personnel. This museum is one class act.#2 The cafeteria was probably the best in a museum that I have experienced. Prices were OK and the food was diverse and excellent.

This place jist keeps getting better and better!

The art, the history, the dinosaurs, its all here. What you really have to appreciate is the painstaking detail that went into making it all so interactive and educational. Any museum can gather up some dinosaur bones and put them into a hall for viewing, but this museum made it so engaging that anyone, kid to adult age, would have a hard time saying they didnt enjoy the experience. Do not miss out on the Rocks and Minerals exhibit, you may be thinking.... why spend time there when there are so many more interesting places to visit, its just not true. The colors, the geometric patterns, guaranteed you will not see a rock collection like this ever again and it will impress you.I love the little things, like the easter egg surprise I have in the photo I posted below... thats fun stuff.

Nice Dinosaurs and American Indian exhibits. Arrived at 3, so we only paid half rate. Good areas for kids and adults alike.

The Carnegie Museum of Art and Architecture is an absolutely amazing place. If in Pittsburgh and you can find tthe time, I highly recommend visiting it. Just stunning.

An amazing museum that is now connected to the Art Museum. Took the family and had a great time. One of the best Dinosaur exhibits I have seen.

There are various masterpieces. You can get another inspiration and insight from them!

I visited there for having fun for myself while I visited the city for my school interview, and it was an amazing moment. Also they have military discount. Just for your information.

Great place to visit on a Saturday! The man that works in the Paleolab was so nice.

Nice art museum with everything from classic to contemporary in a variety of mediums

Removed exhibits due to social influence which is ridiculous.

Very wonderful place I was blown away but how beautiful is everything in sight everything is amazing more than I expected very huge and organized and tells a story everyone should visit that beautiful place من اروع الاماكن في بتسبرك زورو المتحف الكثير من عضام الديناكورات والحوانات المحنطة مكان رائع للاطفال، والعوائل و البالغين مكان اثري ورائع

The museum is very interesting to explore. Decent space to walk around and enjoy sightseeing. Cafes are good stop, clean space and they are busy most of the time. The tickets worth the price :-) would recommend anyone to visit the kids will love this place and kids zone is well organized and thoughtful

Just go get a membership! its only a hundred bucks with a guest . ..the second time you go you paid for it!.. for two weeks straight I went everyday!! By far the best entertainment $100 Ive ever spent

One of the best university museum in the Pittsburgh!!!
