About

The Andy Warhol Museum is on Pittsburgh's North Shore, at Sandusky and East General Robinson streets, across the Andy Warhol Bridge from downtown. Warhol grew up in Pittsburgh, and the museum is devoted entirely to him, with his paintings, prints, films, photographs and the boxes of everyday objects he called time capsules.

The galleries run in rough order of his career, from early commercial illustration through the soup cans, celebrity portraits and Death and Disaster series to his later work, and temporary exhibitions bring in other artists. An orientation film, Fifteen Minutes Eternal, plays at the start. In The Factory, the underground studio, visitors can try silkscreen printing; printing on paper is free, and shirts and totes cost extra. Films run daily in The Warhol theater. The free Bloomberg Connects digital guide adds commentary from artists and curators.

The entrance space, café and store are open to everyone during museum hours without admission. Bags and umbrellas over 11 by 16 inches are not allowed in the galleries, so use the lockers or ask at the admission desk. The museum posts current hours and ticket prices on its website.

The museum's own lot, at the northeast corner of Sandusky and East General Robinson, costs $8 during museum hours and is cashless. More parking is in the East General Robinson Street garage just north. The baseball and football stadiums, the Carnegie Science Center and the riverfront trails are all a short walk along the North Shore.

Accessibility

The Andy Warhol Museum is wheelchair accessible. The main entrance at 117 Sandusky Street is accessible, and an elevator serves every floor, including the galleries, The Warhol theater, The Factory underground, the café and the store.

Standard wheelchairs and gallery stools are free but limited, so reserve one more than 24 hours ahead at access@warhol.org or (412) 237-8354. Restrooms are on the underground floor and the second floor, and every restroom has an accessible stall with a changing table. An accessible, gender-neutral restroom and a private feeding room are on the underground level.

For visitors who are blind or have low vision, touchable three-dimensional reproductions of signature works are installed throughout the museum, and the free Bloomberg Connects guide gives verbal descriptions and guided touch narration for them. Educators trained as sighted guides lead described tours with touchable objects when available. Free EnChroma glasses for red-green color blindness are at the admission desk.

For visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing, the orientation film and other films in the galleries are open captioned, and The Warhol theater has an FM assistive listening system with headphones or neck loops at the admission desk. ASL interpreters for tours and programs need two weeks' notice.

The museum runs sensory-friendly programs for teens and adults, and lends noise-reduction headphones, earplugs and fidgets. Service animals are permitted. A personal care attendant gets free general admission; identify yourselves at the first-floor ticket counter. The Carnegie Museums ask for accommodation requests at least two weeks before your visit.
