West Overton Museums celebrates 95 years by reopening museum's second floor.
On June 16, 1928, 500 visitors gathered in the yard of the 1838 Overholt home for the dedication of the “History House.” Henry Clay Frick’s daughter Helen oversaw and funded the transformation of the home into a historic site to feature the history of Westmoreland and Fayette Counties. Shortly after, the shuttered 1859 distillery was recommissioned as a museum.
Pittsburgh’s public art could be likened to the city’s fingerprint. It is unique, celebratory of local voices, and a testament to its post-industrial landscape.
As public art invites everyone to interact with the creative spirit of Pittsburgh, The (New) Pittsburgh Exposition offers seven public art sites in and around the city that have helped define its civic art scene.
