National Imperial Glass Museum, 3200 Belmont St, Bellaire, OH 43906, US

The Frick Art and Historical Center, known locally as the Frick, is a shining example of the legacy of steel money of the Steel City. The former estate of the Henry Clay Frick, a founder of US Steel, was converted into a museum and showcases how the wealthy Frick family lived as well as displaying many pieces of priceless art. Located at the edge of Pittsburgh's Frick Park, the museum is a perfect place to relax after a long stroll.Parking and public transportation at the Frick Art and Historical CenterThe Frick has a decent sized parking lot that is free to visitors. Visitors can also take the P1 bus from downtown, which travels along a car-free busway and gets to the museum in no time. Exit the Homewood station if taking the bus.Best and worst time to go to the FrickThe warm months of June and July are the best time to visit the Frick. Since the museum is located on the grounds of a former estate, it is very pleasant to meander from building to building to enjoy the sun and then escape into the air conditioning. Also, Fridays in June and July are open until 9 p.m. February is the worst, as Pittsburgh is freezing and the Frick holds few events.Admission to the Frick Art and Historical CenterMost exhibitions in the Frick are free. Tours into the magnificent Frick family home, Clayton, are $12-$15 for adults. Seniors, students, and active military are $10-$12, while kids under 16 years old are $6-$8. The grounds and exhibits are closed on Mondays and most major holidays.Must see at the FrickThough it costs extra, tours of the beautiful Clayton mansion are worth every penny. Not just for the glimpse into the life of a wealthy steel baron from the late 1800s, but also for the priceless art. Don't miss a chance to sneak into the old green house too; it has a bunch of retro charm.Other places to visit near the Frick Art and Historical CenterEast End Brewing in nearby Larimer, is arguably the city's best brewery. It is very hard to find since it is located in an old warehouse and you enter through barely advertised door, so keep your eyes peeled. Point Brugge Cafe has been serving up affordable Belgian fare for years, and is consistently voted best fries in the city. Also, don't miss a chance to wander through Pittsburgh's largest park, Frick Park, just south of the museum.Insider tip to visitors to the FrickIf you are in Pittsburgh for the whole week, or live in the Steel City, visit the Frick on Tuesdays. It is buy one get one for tours of Clayton. Not to mention it is not very crowded on Tuesdays, you might have the whole estate to yourself.Author's bio: Ryan Deto, originally from California, has been exploring the streets of Pittsburgh for more than four years.
