Neapolitan presepio Presenter: Carnegie Museum of Art Renaissance castles typically were lined with immense and colorful wall hangings often highlighted with threads of silk, silver, or gold. The ideas dramatized in these monumental pictures—religious, historical, or mythical—not only glorified their owners, but also reflected and reinforced the artistic, political, and social values of the age. This exhibition explores these engaging pictures in textile; the patrons, artists, and studios that created a taste for tapestries; and compares tapestry and print imagery.	11/27/2009 - 01/10/2010 Pittsburgh, PA website

Powerful Elegance Presenter: Pittsburgh Symphony Manfred Honeck’s first Thanksgiving Strauss concert last fall was so popular that he offers another cornucopia of Viennese dances.
