Trip To Warhol Museum

As part of OIS's Experience America program, we invite you and your immediate family members to join us for a trip to The Andy Warhol Museum on Pittsburgh’s North Shore on Saturday, February 8, 2020.
 
Tickets are $5.00 and can be purchased at the box office on the main floor of the William Pitt Union starting January 17th through noon on February 7th. Each ticket entitles the purchaser to a one-hour guided tour of the museum, a group studio art project and a one-hour free period to explore the museum and/or hang out in the museum’s café area.
 
OIS will provide busing to and from the museum for those who need it. Buses will be boarded at 9:30 AM from Sandusky Street from Bigelow Boulevard on the east side of Soldiers and Sailors Memorial.
