The Office of Public Art has published an exciting guide to
art in public places in downtown Pittsburgh. No matter where
you are downtown, you are steps away from experiencing a work
of art. By taking this tour of four downtown neighborhoods,
residents and visitors will experience remarkable artwork
by some of the nationally & internationally recognized
artists. Since many of the artists were inspired by our region
when they created their pieces, the tour is also a great way
to learn about Pittsburgh’s place in history.
Explore the dynamic
collection of art in public places in four downtown neighborhoods.
Each tour takes an hour to 90 minutes.
