Absolutely amazing experience. Loved hearing the stories during the tour with all the attention to detail! Ask for Vince to be your tour guide, he was great!

Amazing experience! I expected to see a sports exhibit on Roberto Clemente but this museum is so much more. Our tour guide Patrick was exceptional at storytelling & showcasing Roberto’s life and humanitarian efforts. At the end of the tour, we had the opportunity to make purchased on clothing and wine. The basement actually hosts a wine tasting room, perfect for renting out for events. We definitely want to go back since there is so much to soak up!

Words can't describe how awe-inspiring this museum is. The people that work to keep it preserved are so friendly and welcoming. they have this sense of community and a duty to carry on the values that Roberto Clemente inspired. Those who donate items to have available for the public to see is another example of what a museum really is. My dad and husband are Puerto Rican so I have grown up knowing about this legend. To hear about his life in and out of baseball was incredible. We were even able to meet his son and his best friend Manny Sanguillan while there and got autographs. This museum is breath-taking and only a short car ride up from downtown. Worth the trip. I will go back if I head back to Pittsburgh.

Visiting the Roberto Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh was an experience that left me truly awestruck. Nestled in the heart of Lawrenceville, this museum is not just a repository of artifacts and memorabilia; it's a beautifully curated tribute to the life, legacy, and humanitarian spirit of one of baseball's most iconic figures.

What a fantastic Museum dedicated to one of the great Puerto Rican baseball players ever to live. I am not a fan of the Pirates but to learn about the Legacy of this guy that is from my culture was such an experience. The great ones are always taken from us early so to have a Museum like this to celebrate the Life and Legacy of not only a great baseball player but a great human being and family man as well is much appreciated. All the tours are booked in advance. This is not something you can just walk up to the door and expect to see the museum. It is a non-profit so all of the funds do go back into maintaining the museum and finding more pieces to add to the collection. The tour guide was very informative and really let us in to the whole process of finding stuff for the museum and The Life and Legacy of Clemente himself. By taking this tour you will have walked in the same steps of many other athletes actors and musicians that have also paid their respects and came to learn of the Great Clemente. For the price of $21 in adult and the tour being almost 2 hours long it is well worth the price of admission. If you're in Pittsburgh this is definitely an attraction you need to put on your to-do list.

Lovely museum that is a work in progress, they have incredible in-depth exhibits that go into not only Clementes career and life but the history of baseball in the city and the atmosphere of the game Clemente became prominent in. The atmosphere was very fun and im looking forward to what the museum will become over the next few years!

Stopped at The Clemente Museum during a long weekend road trip and it was incredible! I'm a huge baseball fan so I was familiar with Roberto Clemente and his legacy but still learned from the museum's many artifacts and our excellent tour guide Vince. I loved the available merchandise, number of artifacts, and the unique architecture (museum is in an old firehouse). Great job preserving the legacy of a Pittsburgh Pirates legend!

As lifelong Pirates fans who remember Roberto Clemente's death, we were amazed by the collection of memorabilia at the museum. My husband could have spent hours reading each letter and looking at each picture. He purchased a "21" hat and the following day was fortunate enough to have MannySanguillen sign the hat at PNC Park...and tell us even more stories. I was impressed with the number of young people that were on our tour - great to see them learning about Roberto.

One of the most impressive collections you can see, and definitely the most Clemente memorabilia in one place. Tons of current and former players have come through to visit and sign balls/bats as well which is awesome to see there. It seems like the building never ends and each room blows you away with the history inside.

Any and all diehard Pittsburgh Pirates, baseball or sports fans in general, you need to visit the Clemente Museum. There is so much to see you will not leave disappointed. The tour guide was wonderful. Even my family who loves Roberto Clemente learned so much from this experience. And that's exactly what it is. An experience. Go visit this wonderful place with your friends and family as soon as you can. It's the perfect stop before heading to PNC Park.

They can be hard to see/read due to lighting and low placement on walls, but the letters are a great window into life in baseball for a Puerto Rican in that era. Especially memorable are the contract negotiations and a letter on 2nd floor about Caribbean player reporting to spring training "on time." The volunteers are Pirate seamheads with a wealth of info.

This is a fantastic little museum tucked away at the end of the strip. It tugs at your heartstrings and makes you proud to have had such a wonderful man representing our hometown Pittsburgh Pirates. There is so much to see here and so much to learn... Impossible to see everything in one trip. Definitely a great private tour. Highly recommended for all sports fans in general (as there is far more than just baseball and Pirate memorabilia here)... Learn all about Roberto & his family, his childhood leading up to his career as a Pittsburgh Pirate, all of the wonderful things he did for other people in the world, and ultimately, the tragic accident that took him from us. See documents relating to his time in the military, the first contract he signed with the Pirates and his first meager salary, photos from his wedding album, outfits he wore and sports equipment he uses, art he created, historical pieces from Forbes Field and Three Rivers stadium... And SO much more! There are countless fascinating things displayed in this unique space, which was a firehouse many years ago. Great way to spend an afternoon with friends, family, or out of town is looking for something interesting to see and do in Pittsburgh. ?
