Description
Welcome to Pittsburgh's lively Cultural District! This audio tour shows how the city now thrives on culture rather than steel as you walk from a theatre to a museum or a gallery and vice versa.
You will start the tour at the busy Market Square to tune into the downtown's vibe. Next, you will admire the elegant home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra or the Heinz Hall known as the Temple of the Cinema nearby.
Walking further, the hotspot of the local Cultural District and one of the busiest performing arts centers in the U.S. which is the Benedum Center, will pull you in.
The tour will guide you through a handful of historic theatres. Passing by the Harris Theater that would screen adult films in the 60s (as a reminder of the neighborhood's erotic past) you will see how the urban environment reflects the repertoire.
From there, come explore the admission-free Wood Street Galleries, a contemporary art venue supported by the foundation of the Pittsburgh-born icon Andy Warhol. After the art-looking, learn how the inclusive August Wilson Center for African American Culture fosters African Americans' contributions to American culture.
Towards the end of the tour, be amazed that the high-end Pennsylvanian apartment once was the city's Union Station railroad terminal.
Finally, you can experience Pennsylvania's largest history museum, the Senator John Heinz History Center.
Join the tour and exlore Pittsburgh as a vibrant arts and entertainment center!
