To supplement Nick's notice about photo events at the Carnegie Museums, visitors contemplating a trip for the above should also look at the following gallery's website:

Silver Eye Center for Photography 1015 East Carson St., South Side. 412.431.1810. www.silvereye.org.

Although small by comparison with the Carnegie, they have been able to draw some impressive exhibits to the area.

Another photographic gallery is the Melwood gallery at the Pittsburgh Filmmakers, near the Carnegie Museum (www.pghfilmmakers.org). Also, as memory serves, there is a photography exhibit at the Andy Warhol museum (www.warhol.org) running through 12/31/01.

In addition to Dave's post on all the good photographic stuff going on around Pittsburgh right now, let me restore the two web site addresses that seem to have fallen out of my original message:

Carnegie Museum of Art: www.cmoa.org Carnegie Museum of Natural History: www.cmhn.org
