Pittsburgh is home to a large number of museums, which feature exhibits from multimedia art to geology. Luckily, Pitt has a major that prepares students specifically for work in these special places.

There are multiple museums in the Pittsburgh area that students, faculty and staff can enjoy for free with a valid Pitt ID.

Everyone deserves a chance to appreciate resonant art without the aura of mystery that art museums often shroud themselves in, and museums should be doing everything they can to cultivate a non-elitist, welcoming experience.

The exhibit tracks the presence and meaning of patterns across a selection of works from Westmoreland’s collection.

The University Art Gallery will open their first online exhibition, “A Nostalgic Filter: Medieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age” with a virtual conversation and exhibit tour on Wednesday at 12 p.m.

Students interested in the museum world can currently complete a museum studies minor through the history of art and architecture department, but the department is now working on a new major option.
