A wonderful experience. An exhausting bit to enjoy for all. We spent 3.5 hours going through each floor.

We were so surprised how much influence Pittsburgh has had in the past and continues to have on our future. It's an awesome place to learn about a wonderful city. Would 100% recommend

Lots and lots to see of the Pittsburgh area history. Great displays and a wide variety of topics covered. There's more to see than really can be done in one day.

Absolutely wonderful museum with many local history artifacts. Make sure to go early to allow yourself to get lost in the museum.

A beautiful and thought out museum that was fun for us and our kids (ages 2 and 5). We especially loved the discovery section for kids and the Mr. Rogers set exhibit. Parking was convenient and reasonably priced across the street.

Was a good museum, and had some interactive exhibits. At times the layout was difficult to figure out which way to go, but overall a great museum.

This is a great, small museum. The Prohibition visiting exhibit was extremely interesting and very well curated!

The Mr Roger's exhibit is a must if you come here. So happy to see the different pieces from the show. The sports exhibit was great too.

Went here with a student group of CMU students so entrance was free. Loved the museum, had many unique perspectives to offer in terms of history and made learning an enjoyable experience

If you are a pittsburgh sports fan especially steeler fan, this museum is a must. Brought back great memories of Super Bowl highlights, memorabilia, and there are cool exhibits for the kids too. If u are not into sports, museum itself has interesting artifacts from Pittsburgh history. Well worth the visit.

Surprisingly huge! Many different exhibits, with a focus on Pittsburgh history. Great place to bring out-of-town visitors.

Only had time to visit the bookstore, but it was fabulous. I could have gone home with twice what I did come home with. Hope I get to go back to see the museum itself someday.

Amazing place. Lots of local history. My favorite parts were the Western, PA Sports Museum and the Mr. Rogers exhibit. Can't wait to go back when the Apollo exhibit opens next month.
