I didn't even realize that this museum existed until a friend told me about it! I took our Meetup group there for a visit last Thursday and we thoroughly enjoyed it! I was also amazed that admission and parking is free (but you do need to get a timed-ticket due to limiting attendance for Covid). Wonderful works of American art depicting many local scenes by regional artists as well as some works by internationally famous artists. I especially enjoyed seeing scenes of Pittsburgh and the steel mills. The museum itself is modern, open and very clean and bright. I also appreciated that there was a mask policy for Covid and that it wasn't crowded so we could easily spread out. We will definitely be back!
Raves!!! More Museum than you would ever expect in a small town. And if they can do it, It makes you wonder why every small hamlet cant find funds for a world class museum like this one. A feast for the eyes from top to bottom! This visit, a fantasical view of downtown pittsburgh in the future through the eyes of the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright brought to life by Skyline Ink Animators + Illustrators. Plus enjoy seeing stunnig paintings and sculptures by names you may well know. Pittsburgh’s Thadeus Mosely for example. In art…Westmoreland Museum has southwestern PA covered! See more of my travel teels and art on IG. Christine clay studio and stuff
Wonderful exhibition of art of the history of Pittsburgh! If you are an art lover, this is ideal. There are so many fascinating exhibitions, large space, not busy and best of all FREE ENTRY & FREE PARKING!! I especially loved the large light painting inside a light frame that has interesting contours and designs. There are a few painting and drawing tables so u can try your hand at drawing or painting. Staff are lovely and always on hand to assist you. I totally enjoyed myself, made two friends, and had a lovely time. Must visit if you're in the Westmorland area.
My daughter and I explored the works of Doris Lee, which I read about in the New York Times, and the Trib. It was wonderful! Because of worries about Covid, we were glad to see that there just weren’t a lot people there and everyone staying safe, masking up. The exhibit was fantastic and I am so glad, just so glad…that this level of art is here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. We bought things from the gift shop too. Doris Lee has wonderful fabric prints, so, I got the tea towel.
We've been in the area since 2012 and this is our first visit. We were the only people present which made it even more enjoyable as we didn't have to worry about being in anyone's way & we could enjoy our favorites. Sadly the cantilever isn't open for our visit as it is being prepped for a new installation. It was enjoyable with a variety of types of art. I can't wait to return once the new installation is in.
This is a nice small museum featuring art of American artists. There is a Mary Cassatt and a Childe Hassam. There is also a small Andy Warhol gallery when I visited. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and were willing to entertain questions. It was really just one floor and an hour should be enough to see all the pieces of art. The exterior is also very nice.
