Carnegie museum of art Reviews

If you come here for the art museum alone i think you will be pretty disappointed. Especially if you just came over from MET/Philadelphia art museum on the east or Chicago art museum/celeveland art museum on the west. This art museum is kind of sad and it is only a small part of the building which it shares with natural history museum. This is such a weird combination since 70% of the building will be filled with noisy kids and families.. The building itself is also very lackluster and collection small. It has few works belonging to famous artists but most are not their best works. Worst part is the admission is $20 and Celeveland art museum which is FREE is at least 10x better as an art museum.

I can t say enough good things about the Carnegie Museum of Art. There is so much to see and do and they have a lovely collection of paintings. The courtyard behind the museum is a nice hidden gem where they have music on Thursday nights and food trucks too. This is a great place to come and sketch and hear some music while getting a bite to eat. I can t wait to come back for the next event.

enjoyable art and natural history museum. remarkable gems+mineral collection!

We came for the Elizabeth Murray and Jessi Reaves exhibit in the Heinz Galleries which did not disappoint. I had forgotten how extensive and diverse the Scaife Galleries actually are. But whatever you do, don't miss the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Gallery of Decorative Arts and Design. It's so pleasingly curated, I felt like I could just camp out there for a week. Really fascinating stuff.

Loved the art gallery the most, so many pieces the view. Definitely could spend 4-5 hours alone in the gallery. The actual museum itself was huge! Totally a full day trip to experience everything.

I absolutely loved visiting this museum and it is one i would return to 100%. So much to look at and and even the grounds around it are just lovely!

Great museum! I was impressed by the layout, lots of museums twist and turn too much, but here the galleries and long and wide and easy to navigate.

I didn t find much I liked in the modern collection, but there were plenty of earlier works that were fabulous.

I d go back.

Dinosaurs, Art, & gift shops.. oh my!!

Most importantly: you need to dedicate at least 4 hours if you want to see everything in the museum! This museum is gigantic.
If you really want to see all the exhibits, it s a big place, multi-floor, multi-building museum.
The gifts are all wonderful. Anyone can find something special to take home!
Museum staff that we encountered were all very knowledgeable about the museum and exhibits!
Definitely a must-see while in Pittsburgh!!! Don t miss out

Had an amazing time at the museum. There was greek architecture on display with amazing intricate designs of busts and columns and more. There was a gallery of miniature rooms which was super cool (see the attached pics).
My toddler really enjoyed the animals and dinosaurs. The displays were informative and attractive. We spent around 3 hours here without getting bored. We didn't buy anything from the cafe but could see lots of reasonably priced options.
Would love to visit again in future.

Lovely museum. Nice mix of impressionist, contemporary, medieval plus an impressive architecture room with life sized casts from Notre Dame Cathedral and other grand European facades. And dinosaurs!! Good stuff. Also honoring veterans with 1/2 off admission
