FYI - the Duquesne Incline is a nice ride up, but it's accesible most easily by car, and it's not all that much better than the Mon Incline, except for the original cars. Not worth extra $$ for a car rental, but a nice ride.

I'm pretty sure admittance is included with the Art museum. If so, it's quite a deal. Very nice museums, great photos of the old Pittsburgh, tucked in a hallway leading to the library. OVerall a great collection, though, even if you have to pay for both museums separately, which I doubt.... Bus accessible, easily.

Pure Pittsburgh history. I've only been once, for a cocktail party which was sublime, but if you are interested in Pittsburgh history, this is a good stop. RIght next to the Strip Distict, which is the big food market in Pittsburgh.

Great museum if you like this kind of thing. Even better if admission is combined with the Natural History Museum. A great way to spend 1/2 a day -- combine with a trip to the Cathedral of LEarning and the Stephen Foster memorial, and Heinz CHapel if you are interested.
