I last went to the Heinz History Center four years ago, and loved it. Not much has changed...the sports highlight video when you first walk into the Sports Museum is still there. I'm pretty sure they moved the footballs closer to the targets in the throwing exhibit, though. I still missed. I love the Sports Museum, obviously, but I also love the 1968 exhibit. I think I'll be coming back and bringing a friend with me. She would love it.
The thing that I love most about the History Center is the interactive exhibits. The Andy Warhol Museum is not too far from me, but I won't be going to check it out. I took an art history class in college. It bored me to tears. The Heinz History Center has hands on exhibits, and a lot of media stuff. You can listen to original newscasts. You can listen to Martin Luther King's speeches, which almost made me cry. You can immerse yourself in history. You can't do that at the Andy Warhol.
So what's left? There's the Carnegie Science Center, the National Aviary, and the zoo. Probably wait til spring for those, or at least the zoo.
