MATTRESS FACTORY ART MUSEUM, Pittsburgh, PA

        There is an awesome Art Museum in Pittsburgh, PA called The Mattress Factory, which is a museum of Contemporary Art that presents art that you can get into... meaning room sized environments called art installations.

         Created on site by artists from across the United States and around the world, with unique exhibitions that feature a variety of media that engage all the senses.

        The first thing you notice upon arriving at the facility is that the building itself is an abstract design with an unusual shape on one side that jets up into the sky and ivy on the face of the building that is creating it's own art work.

        Secondly the garden outside the front entrance is a permanent installation that is made to look like an overgrown building foundation.

        The museum's unusual galleries are located in three creatively reused buildings on Pittsburgh's historic North Side.

        Since 1977, the Mattress Factory has supported more that 600 artists through a world-renowned residency program.  Each year artists come to Pittsburgh, live at the museum and create new work.  During that time, the museum supports them completely while they experiment, take risks and explore the creative process.

        Each exhibition is paired with a variety of engaging and innovative educational programs including hands on art projects, workshops, lectures and tours.

        

        If you enjoy contemporary art on canvas, then you'll love the Mattress factory, it takes you to a place where you can actually be a part of the art, it's quite an experience.
