Heinz Architectural Center is a dynamic forum for the presentation, exploration, and incubation of architectural ideas and issues of regional, national, and international import. Through the generosity of Drue Heinz, the Center has since its inauguration in 1993 created critical exhibitions organized by the museum’s curators and hosted key exhibitions from other institutions.

Located on the museum’s second floor in spaces designed by Cicognani Kalla Architects of New York, Heinz Architectural Center aims to be a welcoming and provocative space for issues pertaining to the built environment—reexamining history, investigating the present, and imagining possible futures. The museum’s collection of approximately 6,000 architecture-related objects continues to grow as a vital resource for scholarly research and public display in the Center’s evolving program.
