(Pittsburgh, PA) Five Pittsburgh museums are being recognized both nationally and locally, and city leaders say it comes at the perfect time. According to USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh was the best children’s museum in the country in 2026 and the Heinz History Center was the best history museum in the country in 2026. The Kamin Science Center landed at No. 3 and the Moonshot Museum at No. 9 on the list of best science museums in the country. The August Wilson African American Cultural Center also made the list of best free museums at No. 10. Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor also officially proclaimed this week as Museum Week because they are all unique and they all showcase what makes the Steel City special.
