About The Westmoreland Museum of
American Art
The Westmoreland Museum of American Art,
located at 221 N. Main Street in Greensburg,
recently completed a transformational renovation
and expansion project, hosting a community
grand reopening celebration in late Oct. of
2015. A new LEED-certified addition adds over
13,000 square feet to the museum and features
a dynamic cantilevered design along with a
stunning view of the City of Greensburg and the
Laurel Highlands beyond. The Westmoreland’s
permanent collection is comprised of works by
major American artists from the 18th century
through the present, with a special emphasis
on southwestern Pennsylvania art and artists.
The museum also offers an impressive schedule
of temporary exhibitions of American art –
both nationally-travelling and those organized
in-house – as well as events and communityoriented educational programming for all ages.
