Ive been going to the Wood Street Galleries regularly since the late 90s. If youre ever downtown looking for something cool to do that is absolutely free, the Wood Street galleries is definitely worth a visit. Its directly above the Wood Street T station. Theres a side door that leads to an elevator with two levels of art installations.I have seen so many cool installations over the years, but I still remember my absolute favorites. Nam June Paik had this really awesome installation with elephants and televisions. There was also a crazy spinning head and strobe light installation by Gregory Barsamian. I still think about these installations a decade later. It was so cool that I was in absolute awe!One of my favorite activities with my daughter involves riding the T to the Point and dipping our toes in the fountain; getting ice cream at Millies; then visiting the Wood Street Gallery. The last time we went a robot drew her portrait. We walked through a David Lynch-like labyrinth with crimson red velvet material and sound that changed as you got closer to the center. The cool thing is that the installations always change, and you never know what to expect.We are so lucky to have something like this in Pittsburgh that is absolutely free. Everyone should be able to enjoy art! The Wood Street Galleries is one of my favorite little places that I always check out when Im downtown.

Very interesting and free of charge!

I liked how accessible this location is, and it is FREE! Rather than have a gallery of paintings, this is actually a gallery of various multimedia that changes every season, keeping things fresh.I liked how there was a theme of Antarctica and arctic exploration, complete with audio exhibits, map art, and video.It is FREE and is open right above Wood Street Station, which makes it even better.

I try to visit every time a new show is running. Some are better than others, but I always end up feeling inspired or moved in one way or another. Make sure to check out both floors if you visit!

My favorite art gallery in Pittsburgh.

So many cool reasons. The latest was seeing sound

Awesome way to spend some time. Would not suggest eating acid before hand, but hey I never learn not to.

I cannot describe it in words. You must see it to believe it. It is fantastic especially if you are into light shows & the best thing about it is it is completely free so there is no excuse for not checking it out. Make sure you visit both floors. It is just absolutely mindboggling. A must see.

Mesmerizing! Great experience even for my Cowboy friend!

Enjoyed the walk gallery to gallery looking at artist and artist wanna bes work, lol.

What they had was very good would have liked to have more content

Best traveling art gallery downtown! They always bring in very unique exhibits from around the world

Always compelling, often amazing. Stongly curated new media focus. Helpful staff who always are kind and will talk with you about the work.

A quick nice interesting art gallery. They tend to pull very engaging exhibits.

One of the coolest galleries in pittsburgh. often focused on one artist at a time, youll find aural and visual interactive installations tucked away downtown with experimental art that will be sure to pull you right in. its free and fun so why wouldnt you stop by even if just for ten minutes.

Free!These are a bit hard to find - you have to enter the right door. If you can go down an escalator to the subway, youre gonna have to go back outside and try again.There are two floors housing exhibits. During my visit, they all used moving light. The last one, featuring a bunch of spinning lights getting faster and faster, really caught my attention and made me smile. It was a nice break from the world.

Always a great and interesting exhibit

Consistently some of the most exciting art in Pittsburgh. This place has a technological bent. The art is nontraditional. I have been no where else that consistently shoes me art that makes me laugh or scares me or messes with my perception at a very basic level. Awesome.

There is always something interesting going on at the Wood Street Galleries. Its definitely worth the visit if you are in downtown, Pittsburgh.

Free museum but, no need to stop by unless you have time. Two floors and interesting entrsnve. You come in the subway station. Clean restrooms.

Amazing. Had no idea this was even here until a few weeks ago. And its FREE!

Amazing free gallery constantly changing.

Went to see the Nonotak exhibit. It was pretty cool. Only thing was my experience felt rushed.

Interesting displays.

Super cool place

This place was really hard for us to find!! You have to get in the sketchy elevator on the left and then the signs will tell you which floors to go.The exhibit on bugs & arthropods was REALLY interesting! They had a good variety of media and styles. Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area.

Free...fun ....small but intense installations

Free and I loved walking through the spaces and through the art. It was an enjoyable experience.

Always interesting to see whats going on at Wood Street gallery.

Fantastic rotation of digital artists, high tech consistently meets conceptual art here.

Really great this space exists. Wish the art would rotate more but then again, Im not a curator.

Went to see Nonotek during the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts in 2018. It was spectacular and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Awe inspiring and trippy.

Incredible art.

Got place to get on your feet again if desired

That crazy light display above the door reflects the activity of the adjacent intersection. If all activity in the intersection stops, the light will also stop. In the middle of the day, the lights are constantly on the move.

Very unique and pleasant experience

I went during the robotlab exhibit. I was very impressed with the gallery, and I appreciated the gentlemen they had at each exhibit to explain a particular piece and answer any questions we had.

This gallery is always full of interesting and innovative art.

Touring large scale art installations, something different to enjoy, lots of kinetic or digital works.

I just love the installations at this gallery!

Pretty nice displays for a free for all gallery.

Great but not recommend for people who have epilepsy.

I have seen some of my favorite art here

This art gallery has free admission and always displays great current art with a physical or experiential element. Give it a shot even if you arent normally an art person.

Very interesting Gallery Space above the Wood Street T Station.

Typically has the most interesting, technology oriented and forward thinking shows in town.

Things you wouldnt see elsewhere, at least in Pittsburgh.
