Three of the most popular museums in Pittsburgh are free for visitors all through the month of August, offering a way for individuals and families to escape the heat while taking advantage of fun activities, educational opportunities, art and cultural exhibitions, and more. Beginning on Tue., Aug. 1, The Andy Warhol Museum, Heinz History Center, and Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh will become part of 3 For Free, a month-long program described in a press release as celebrating the three museums for making the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. “We are extremely fortunate to have such great cultural institutions in this city, county, and region, and thanks to the USA TODAY Readers’ Choice Awards, we know that many outside of this area agree,” says County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. “Just as important as the national honors, are the support that we receive from those who call this community home.” Fitzgerald also thanks RAD, the Allegheny Regional Asset District, for the funding that made 3 for Free possible. The Allegheny Regional Asset District supports libraries, parks, art attractions, and more in the Pittsburgh area.
