Museum Visits

Loading at Homme Gallery: Artist and architect MAESTRO will present his first solo exhibition “LOADING” at HOMME Gallery from April 3 - 24. Known for his pixelated pen drawings of cultural icons in a perpetual state of “loading,” MAESTRO merges fine art with digital interactivity, challenging perceptions of history and modernity. Originally from Valencia, Spain, and now based in Santa Barbara, MAESTRO integrates augmented reality into his work, allowing viewers to experience his art beyond the physical. His debut resin sculpture, Glitching - Venus, a pixelated abstraction of the Venus de Milo, will also be featured. Get tickets here. 

National Building Museum: The National Building Museum announced today that it will extend its Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania exhibition through Sunday, October 5, 2025.

Presenting both realized and unrealized projects Wright designed for the Southwest Pennsylvania region from the 1930s through the 1950s, the exhibition examines how Wright’s vision of the future might have impacted urban, suburban, and rural landscapes.
