The PMA Collection

The PMA Collection consists of more than 19,000 artworks, ranging from Andy Warhol and Winslow Homer to Louise Nevelson and Claude Monet. It would take nearly 10 years of constant gallery rotations to see everything in the museum, but now you can see it all, no matter where you are.
