The Westmoreland’s collection comes to life through multi-projection, surround sound, and animated effects. Created by award-winning OLO Creative Farm, these immersive experiences seamlessly blend art and technology to evoke the feeling of stepping inside the paintings. The digital images of the artworks have been enhanced using visual effects to enrich the immersive experience.
Admission is free; no reservation required. The immersive experience is on view during regular Museum hours.
Steel Valley Visions
On view through November 8, 2026
Steel Valley Visions comprises an award-winning traditional exhibition and immersive experience. On view during regular Museum hours. Admission is free; no reservation required.
Throughout the Big Steel Era in western Pennsylvania, artists captured a compelling visual record of the industry’s rise and fall: the grit and glory, power and peril, beauty and brutality. This exhibition brings together historical and contemporary works that reflect on the region’s industrial past and its continuing influence.
Steel Valley Visions received a 2026 PA Museum’s Institutional Achievement Award and a 2026 Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Award presented by the Westmoreland Historical Society.
Steel Valley Visions: An American Legacy and the immersive experience are made possible by generous support from the Hillman Foundation and The Heinz Endowments.
The Steel Valley Visions immersive experience is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Laurel Ridge Foundation.
Winter Tales
November 13, 2026 – January 18, 2027
The Winter Tales immersive experience is back by popular demand! This one-of-a-kind installation brings to life stunning works from The Westmoreland’s collection using multi-projection, surround sound, and delicate animated effects like mist, falling snow, and glistening frost. Visitors will feel as though they’ve stepped inside the paintings, surrounded by winter landscapes from Greensburg, Pittsburgh, the countryside, and beyond.
A Journey through The Seasons
January 30 – September 12, 2027
Journey through the four seasons in this visual exploration of art and nature. In this immersive experience, artworks come alive to celebrate the cycle of life. From darkness, light reveals the birth of a flower, leading into spring and a sense of awakening. Summer brings energy and vitality, followed by the warm, reflective tones of autumn. Winter closes the cycle with stillness and quiet, suggesting contemplation rather than an end.
