At the Junction of Two Great PITTSBURGH AS A CULTURAL CENTER Pittsburgh has been known in the past as a key point of industryg today it is becoming just as well-known as a cultural center. Anyone who is interested in obtaining a college education has unlimited opportunities to do so in one of the many excellent institutions of higher learning situated in the city - Pennsylvania College for Women, Duquesne University, the University of Pittsburgh, or Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology. There are many valuable artifacts on display in the Carnegie Museum, which is open to the public at all times. Each year thousands of students from Pittsburgh schools are taken on guided tours through the museum to see these valuable exhibits. One of the most outstanding displays this year was the International Art Exhibit, featuring contemporary art. The Buhl Planetarium, famous for its awe-inspiring sky shows and unusual science exhibits, also attracts great crowds of curious students and visitors from all parts of the United States. Pittsburgh is fortunate to have a planetarium, for there are only five in the entire nation. Concerts and symphonies at Carnegie Music Hall and Syria Mosque are attended by enthusiastic audiences of Pittsburghers who enjoy classical music. Every year the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra tours the city's high schools and presents free concerts for the students. The Civic Light Opera, which entertains crowds of Pittsburghers all through the summer, is sponsored by a group of businessmen that is interested in developing the culture of the city. With Pittsburgh's growing opportunities it may soon be more widely known as a cultural center than as the foundry for the nation's steel. Situated in the Civic Center, Carnegie Institute is always a place of interest. Every day many people visit its library, music hall, lecture hall, and hall of fine arts. Under a new director, the museum section is currently having a facelifting.
