Carnegie Museum of Art
Art Museum · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The art half of the building Andrew Carnegie put up in Oakland in 1895, founded on an instruction that was unusual for its moment: he wanted the museum to buy the old masters of tomorrow rather than the old masters of yesterday, which makes it arguably the first museum in the United States built to collect contemporary art. The Carnegie International, which it has run since 1896, is the oldest exhibition of international contemporary art in North America and the second oldest anywhere after the Venice Biennale. One ticket covers it and the natural history museum next door.
