Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh

The Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, formerly the Carnegie Institute, is an organization in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that encompasses several institutions. These include museums for fine arts and natural history, founded in 1895, as well as the Carnegie Science Center (which houses the Henry Buhl, Jr., Planetarium and Observatory) and The Andy Warhol Museum. The organization also includes the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Music Hall. The city of Pittsburgh itself is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, forming the Ohio River, and has a rich industrial history, particularly in steel production. While the steel industry has declined, Pittsburgh has diversified its economy into high-technology and service sectors.1
