I actually really liked the art museum. There were some really ancient pieces that I loved seeing. Probably helps that I am an artist myself so I was actually checking out things like brush strokes on paintings. Plus I love history and looking at some of the old paintings of Pittsburgh from the 17 and 1800's and people from various centuries was cool. Loved the furniture exibit and the architecture and sculptures too.

I do love the dinos and that is the reason I had never really explored the art side fully.I always spent all of my time staring in awe at the dinosaur bones. I love what they have done with the prehistoric exhibits and I have always enjoyed the rock and mineral area. I did spend a considerable amount of time in the Native American area to since I have a personal interest in Native American history.

I am looking forward to visiting again. So may things to see and do and being a home body I just never get around to seeing and doing them.
