Scottish-born Andrew Carnegie earned his fortune on Pittsburgh's steel industry when it was the steel capital of the world. In 1895, he founded Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, which has grown to include
Carnegie Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Science Center, and The Andy Warhol Museum. "The intention was to give back... he wanted to bring the residents of Pittsburgh the wonder of the world, the wonder of art, and the wonder of science,"says Betsy Momich, Director of corporate Communications at Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Thanks to Carnegie, Pittsburgh is now considered one of the great cultural centres in the United States.
