The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh provides innovative and inclusive museum experiences that inspire kindness, creativity, curiosity and joy for all learners.
Space rentals
The Children's Museum and MuseumLab offer a variety of rental spaces for your event that fit your style and needs. They're both unique, historic venues for private, family and corporate functions that your guests are sure to remember. From the elegance of the Big Red Room to the casual fun of the Backyard, Art Studio and Garage, we have a variety of spaces for your event that fit your style and needs. You can even host an event throughout the museum and let your guests enjoy all of our exhibits and spaces.
Artist Residencies
The Children's Museum also offers artist residencies through The Tough Art Residency program, providing an opportunity for artists to work in the museum to develop and create new works to be exhibited in fall/winter of that year. Artists may apply as individuals or as a team. Three artists/teams will be chosen to participate. Artists are typically in residence for a 3-month summer period, and each residency artist/team receives an honorarium and the Museum manages a materials budget for each project.
Memberships
MuseumLab Creatives Memberships are a unique adult membership giving you access to the creative program at MuseumLab, a one-of-a-kind historic building whose spaces and “beautiful ruin” design inspire expansive thinking, creating, skill building and learning with others who share your interests.
