Pittsburgh, La Hutte Royal, and The Mattress Factory
Posted at 6:54 am , on August 4, 2015
An art day in Pittsburgh.
First stop, La Hutte Royal, an art installation inside a house in the Troy Hill Neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The installation is by the German artist Thorsten Brinkmann, and the home is owned by the art collector Evan Mirapaul, who commissioned the installation.

One of the few spaces on the second floor where you can stand, after crawling around, with my spouse and brother.
Lunch
Everything is pretty close in Pittsburgh, but getting from Troy Hill to Bloomfield for lunch meant driving down Rialto Street, which my brother said was like a roller coaster. Our destination wasn’t far, though.
Pittsburgh lunch at Tessaro’s in the Bloomfield neighborhood (the place is known for hamburgers cooked over a wood-fired grill).
The Mattress Factory
The Mattress Factory is a museum, artist-in-residence, and educational complex in multiple buildings in the historic Mexican War Streets area of the North Side of Pittsburgh.
