Which museum in Pittsburgh opened in 1994 as the largest museum dedicated to a single artist?

The story behind the answer

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh opened in 1994 as the largest museum dedicated to a single artist.

The museum occupies a former distribution center on Pittsburgh’s North Shore and preserves the life, art, films, photographs, and archives of Andy Warhol. Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, so the city became a natural home for a major institution devoted to his work.

Its collection includes paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, film material, and personal documents. The museum also presents changing exhibitions and educational programs that place Warhol within Pop Art, celebrity culture, and postwar American history.

The institution is sometimes confused with the Carnegie Museum of Art, another important Pittsburgh museum. The Carnegie is a broad art museum, while the Andy Warhol Museum is specifically devoted to Warhol and is part of the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh network.
