Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh

🔭 We are excited to share that thanks to a historic and unprecedented gift, the Science Center will be named the Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin Science Center. Although the name is changing, the Science Center will continue to be a part of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh and our beloved membership program. This gift will pave the way for exciting new exhibitions, programs, and public initiatives to help countless kids and adults to embark on their personal journey of discovery and curiosity at the Science Center.

🦕 Pittsburgh: nothing can tricera-top the four Carnegie Museums! Since our founding in 1895 by Andrew Carnegie, the four Carnegie Museums have grown into an impactful system in our community. Your support has allowed us to celebrate many wonderful milestones, such as the month long celebration of the 125 anniversary of the founding of out international icon, Dippy the Dinosaur (Diplodocus carnegii). We hope to celebrate even more milestones with you in the years to come. Visit https://lnkd.in/eWiYnBN3 to learn more and support your neighborhood museums before the fiscal year comes to an end.

It’s the largest member of the carrot family in North America, and can be found growing along roadsides, waterways, and the edge of woods. Mason Heberling, Assistant Curator of Botany, explores Cow parsnip and its properties in the latest Carnegie Museum of Natural History blog post at bit.ly/CowParsnip
