The design of the 2012 Official Visitors Guide is dedicated to Pittsburgh’s own Andy Warhol (1928-1987), the Prince of Pop and
the man who put Campbell’s Soup cans in museums. Located in Pittsburgh, the place of Andy
Warhol’s birth, The Andy Warhol Museum is the most
comprehensive single-artist
museum in the world. The Warhol is one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
