Had a wonderful experience even though we had 30 minutes before the museum closed.
Always an enjoyable trip as they keep some of the old favorites around and introduce new exhibits each season.
Very interesting place to visit. The interiors were greatly designed and the staffs were very friendly
Great place, take your time and enjoy all they have to offer. Brought my family all of them loved it, some really amazing art
I really enjoy this museum! There are actually 3 different buildings to Mattress Factory. The art work is very interesting & different. If you're open-minded about art then you will appreciate your visit here.
It was unique to say the least. Some exhibits and floors were closec, but the ones that were open left me scratching mu and and wondering, just wondering, which is not a bad thing. I found myself looking at a table and wondering if it was art. I dont think it was..
Great museum with multiple buildings of art! Well worth the visit and will be going again.
Get the "FULL EXPERIENCE"
Great if you are into art. Is compromised of 3 buildings all within a block of each other. No street crossing required. Nice staff. Cute coffee shop inside main building. Two gift shops.
A very unique and enjoyable art museum! I went on a first date here and it was a splendid time.
My absolute fav artist has a permanent exhibit here. It's a unique magical place you will get lost in! Three different buildings, I'm a member for a reason as I fell in love with it
WOW! Let me preface this review by saying I really had no intention of ever coming here. I had thought maybe it was going to be "swoosh, right over my head", like some of what I had seen down at the Wood Street Gallery and the other installation, "boutique", or one-room, one-piece galleries downtown. They were very nice, unique, some quite memorable, others just out of my league. I drive about two hours one-way from WV to see the Broadway National Tours at the Benedum, the shows at the Byham and the Cabaret at Theater Square, the concerts and performances at Heinz Hall, and enjoy the Cultural District's many offerings, and with upwards of six hours to kill I had already visited just about every every museum, gallery, vista, and sightseeing attraction Pittsburgh has to offer in the preceding sixteen months (25+ trips) since I had been coming to Pittsburgh. With my time winding down here in the area, and with only one last opportunity remaining to see the Mattress Factory, I finally told myself "let's get this over with". Man, what the hell was I waiting on. This place was just simply amazing. And the staff were all so very friendly and helpful. The pictures I've seen simply cannot do it justice. Installation art of this size, this scale, well, it slaps you in the face, wraps around you, surrounds you, and it absorbs you into it like no other art form can. I really believe the key to enjoying this is catching it with as FEW people in the exhibits as possible. Be the only one in the room. I was the first person in the building on a Saturday morning, and for the most part the only one in each gallery or on every floor, every time, in two out of three buildings. I can't imagine trying to appreciate this when there are a dozen or more people all talking and flocking around each other all angling to see the exhibit. Go see this. I can't believe I waited this long. Or maybe it's a good thing I did.
This is definitely a funky fun museum, filled with weird and/or thought-provoking modern art. Even the space is interesting, just walking around to see how they have used an old factory and converted it into art and a place for art.
