History

History and Current Programs should have their own sections —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.145.34.169 (talk) 04:33, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art

Please note this museum is participating in the Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art (Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art/Carnegie Museum of Art rules). All interested editors are invited to participate in this project.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Some Suggestions

I think it would benefit the article greatly if one were to add more in the collections and departments section. One could expand on the specific departments more and maybe even have sub sections for each department. It could include specific artists and works. The museum's website has a section for themes and adding them would really benefit the Wikipedia article as well. Another thing that could make the article better would to record some of the specific 15 annually changing exhibits, perhaps just the most notable. Some of the galleries listed have no explanation or dates so those too could be expanded on. The museum also hosts programs of many sorts so that could be added under programs as well. A lot more citations should be added, even if many citations are to the same reference.

On the other side, the language and organization of this article seem good.

Additions

It seems that this article is lacking a good bit of meat. There simply is not a lot of information. Specifically looking at the section on collections and departments, one could very easily girth it up a little. One the Carnegie Museum of Art’s official website there is a great deal of information on the six main departments in the museum. Creating subcategories is a nice option for this. In addition there is almost no information under the section dedicated to the programs at the Carnegie Museum. This is truly unfortunate because there are so many. Even if one did just stick with talking about the saturday art classes, there is much that can be said about what that has provided the Pittsburgh art community. The fact that Andy Warhol attended classes there is quite interesting and there is more that can easily be said on the matter. Lakirkpatrick (talk) 00:23, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
