Carnegie Museum of Art

The Carnegie Museum of Art, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1895 by industrialist Andrew Carnegie. It is one of the first museums in the United States with a strong focus on contemporary art, exhibiting a wide range of visual arts, including painting, sculpture, photography and decorative arts. The museum’s collection features works by prominent artists such as Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler and Edward Hopper. The museum also hosts the Carnegie International, a prestigious contemporary art exhibition held every few years. Read more about Museums.
