"Winter Day" featured in Christmas day newspaper edition

Roy Hilton was new to town when he painted "Winter Day" in the late 1920s. As with many realist artists here, he was smitten with the rolling urban landscape even as it was transformed under a blanket of snow. "Winter Day" incorporates the traditional elements of a picturesque Pittsburgh scene: hillside houses, a bridge, a flight of city steps.

Auf wiedersehen Transatlantic Journal Project

WMAA Preparator PJ Zimmerlink has de-installed the Transatlantic Bridge exhibition and is currently packing it up for its trip to Oberhausen. By this time tomorrow it will be on its way and should arrive at the LVR-Industriemuseum within 10 days - with plenty of time for its opening there on February 5.

We are keeping copies of 7 of the reproductions here in our interactive gallery - and our kiosks will still be active, so no reason not to stop by the Museum. PLUS - it won't be long before all the paintings from Born of Fire that traveled to Oberhausen will be back on view in the Barclay Gallery. Here are a few of them. We'll keep you posted!

Transatlantic Journal Exhibit Ends Sunday

Don't miss your chance to see the exhibition put together by Greensburg Salem students about the Transatlantic Journal Project. The exhibition's last day on view here at The Westmoreland will be Sunday, December 26. The Museum is open that day from 11 am - 5 pm. Although we're closed on Christmas Day, we are open the following hours this week:

Wednesday, December 22, 11 am - 5 pm
Thursday, December 23, 11 am - 9 pm
Friday, December 24, 11 am - 3 pm
Sunday, December 26, 11 am - 5 pm

We'll be packing up the show to send to Oberhausen next week, so come and see it while you can!

Also - for all of the kids and teachers that are off school for the holiday, the Museum will also be open on Monday and Tuesday, December 27 and 28. Born of Fire, the inspiration for the Bridge project, is always on view.

Good Bye Feuerländer!

On Sunday the exhibit "Feuerländer" finally closed. Since Monday the team of the museum, conservators, the transport company and many others are working on dismantling.

We thank all, who were involved in this big project and we hope, that we can continue working on such great exhibits like this in the future!
