With cherished traditions, joyful celebrations, and activities for all ages, Carnegie Museum of Art is the place to be this winter! Connect with friends, family, and art throughout the museum, enjoy a concert in the Hall of Architecture, dance your heart out after dark during Winter Heat, and spend quality time with the Neapolitan presepio and the Carnegie Trees.
Since 1961, the annual installation and decoration of the soaring evergreens in the Hall of Architecture has been the signature tradition of the Women’s Committee of Carnegie Museum of Art. This year’s Carnegie Trees, themed Iconic Pittsburgh, highlight the unique treasures that make the Steel City remarkable!
Since 1957, Carnegie Museum of Art has marked the holiday season with the Neapolitan presepio. A centuries-old tradition in Naples and southern Italy, the presepio is an elaborate nativity scene recreated with miniature figures arranged in a detailed panorama of 18th-century life in Naples.
