PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The new Diversity Museum of Art and Culture being built on the South Side will feature works of art from around the world.
KDKA-TV’s Mamie Bah was given an exclusive look at the pieces and the space that will soon be the new museum’s home.
“It’s a museum gallery and performance venue,” according to the president and architect of the project, Max Mavrovic.
A former steel factory is now a blank canvas and is in the process of being transformed across the river.
“It’ll be located on South Sixth Street.”
Mavrovic is bringing Michael Berger’s vision to life.
Berger’s family has been in business on the South Side for 75 years.
“[There is] nothing on the South Side, so we need a museum on the South Side,” Berger said.
Michael Berger is the collector behind the art. He’s been collecting art for decades, since his days in college. His vision was for something unique with a name to fit.
