Heinz History Center

Whether you are a regular visitor or have never been, there is a lot for you to discover at the Senator John Heinz History Center!

Devoted to the history and heritage of Western Pennsylvania, the History Center is Pennsylvania’s largest history museum and a proud affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The 370,000 square-foot museum presents compelling stories from American history with a Western Pennsylvania connection in an interactive environment perfect for visitors of all ages. Learn about the museum's rich collection and ongoing exhibits, including newest exhibition: Pittsburgh’s John Kane: The Life & Art of an American Workman. This exhibit features 37 original works of art and dozens of artifacts that showcase the world of John Kane – a turn-of-the-century Scottish immigrant who achieved breakthrough success as a painter after toiling for more than 40 years as a laborer in industrial-age Pittsburgh.

At this virtual program, a representative from the Heinz History Center will highlight the history of the site and what you may see during your visit. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more
