It was a little tight in terms of a party venue and parking was ok. Street parking wasn't terrible, much to my surprise. The art kept my interest. It wasn't typical art, but rather more new aged art. We had fun going through the exhibits and they kept our interest.Overall it was a great experience.

Amazing place! Best museum in Pittsburgh. Really must visit if you're in town. Large instalations of some spectacular art in an amazing complex of old buildings.

Unique venue. It was interesting and fun. Onsite parking was a plus. Nice city views from rooftop/exterior stairs.
