Spend an artsy afternoon at Pittsburgh’s Mattress Factory

Tucked within the residential blocks of the North Side, just a few blocks away from Randyland, lies the Mattress Factory. In the contemporary art museum, lush with abstract exhibitions, some permanent and others temporary, you’ll quickly realize the stark juxtaposition between the worlds contained inside and outside its walls.

The highly interactive pieces span across the museum’s three buildings, which have held the work of over 750 artists since the museum’s inception in 1977. A visit almost always ensures a new appreciation for the arts, whether from a new exhibition, an altered viewpoint or the people you share it with.
