Carnegie Museum

Across the lawn and the street is a portion of the Carnegie Museum and Library. This wing is the more "traditional" architecture end, I did not get pix of the other end this trip, the kids were too hungry! The great thing about this end, the Hall of Architecture. So many casts of various styles of antique architecture are housed here and allow the casual observer or the student to gt a glimpse of the wide range of styles and detail associated with the built environment of the past. There were so many grey Sunday afternoons in the winter months I spent wandering this space and the museum, what a treasure for students of every discipline. The lecture halls are amazing, the library has been refinished, but it is still splendid. This time of year, with the warmer temperatures, the street will be filled with dozens of yellow school buses, bringing so many eager students to the dinosaur hall and natural history areas also. Next is the new IT building at CMU. Many more buildings to come!
