North Side

- Wall-to-Wall Studios
The North Side is an unsuspecting treasure trove of activities & places you never knew existed. If you're seeking that so-called "local” culture, look no further. The North Side area is home to some of the richest historical and cultural components of the Burgh. With well-preserved buildings dating back to the 1700's, the Mexican War Streets, Heinz Field, PNC Park, Deutschtown and at least a day's worth of museum hopping between the Warhol, Mattress Factory and others, the North Side is the perfect sightseeing destination for newcomers and residents alike.

All installation art, the Mattress Factory curates stories. It is best known for interactive art in room-sized or "site-specific" environments. Previously a mattress warehouse, the museum has worked with over 650 artists since its foundings in the late 70's. Light and space artist, James Turrell, along with Yayoi Kusama's mirrored room and Greer Lankton (all pictured below) are only a few of the internationally-acclaimed artists who have laid a golden egg here.
