About Carnegie Museum of Art

Founded in 1895, the Carnegie Museum of Art holds about 35,000 works dating from the late 17th century to today. The Hall of Architecture displays almost 140 full-size plaster casts of building elements, and the Heinz Architectural Center shows drawings and models. You can also browse the Hall of Sculpture and the Charles "Teenie" Harris Archive. The museum shares its building with Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and one ticket covers both.
