Must-see attractions

　　Hey, did you notice the giant yellow house with enormous floor-to-roof wall murals and a small army of garden statuary and a junkyard's worth of painted furniture and a bunch of painted signs from around the world and vintage toys and a general sense that the man who lives here...

Carnegie Museums

　　Founded in 1895, these neighboring institutions are both tremendous troves of knowledge. The Carnegie Museum of Art has European treasures and an excellent architectural collection, while the Carnegie Museum of Natural History features a complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton and beautiful old dioramas. The art museum is open until 11pm on...

Mattress Factory

　　Since 1977, this art space has hosted the avant-garde. It now occupies several buildings in the Mexican War Streets neighborhood, and always has something surprising on, from pitch-black sensory deprivation rooms to surreal caricature galleries to oddly angled experiments in room layout.

Andy Warhol Museum

　　This six-story museum celebrates Pittsburgh's coolest native son, Andy Warhol, who moved to NYC, got a nose job and made himself famous with pop art. One of the four Carnegie museums in the city, this holds the largest collection of Warhol's work in the world and is the largest single-artist...

Duquesne Incline

　　This nifty funicular and its Monongahela Incline twin down the road, both built in the late 19th century, are Pittsburgh icons, zipping up the steep slope of Mt Washington every five to 10 minutes. They provide commuters a quick connection, and give visitors great city views, especially at night. 　　HistoryThe...

Monongahela Incline

Center for PostNatural History

　　'Postnatural history,' according to the artist-founder of this quirky museum, is the field of plants and animals designed by humankind.
