The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
The entire experience was alright, though a bit underwhelming. The strength in the displays was their US Civil War content, which was understandably focused on highlighting Pennsylvania's contributions.
After the Civil War, everything between then and modern conflicts all had much more compact displays comparatively. I'm currently sorting through photos. The lighting in the museum created a lot of reflections that made taking good photos a challenge.
Man, Pittsburgh has so many good museums; more than you'd expect.
I tried to go to the Andy Warhol museum as well todau, but there was some sort of sportball event happening which just devastated the parking situation.
