the mattress factory.

view of pittsburgh from the balcony at the mattress factory.

 last sunday, i went to the mattress factory with my friend leigh. it's "a museum of contemporary art that presents art you can get into. room-sized environments, created by in-residence artists." 

they had free admission, so we decided to take full advantage of what the museum had to offer. one of our most exciting excursions was the gift shop that was full of fred flare items. i'm always a sucker for gift shops and commemorative items.

room-size exhibit with ping pong balls. 

rust-stained newspapers?

polka dot mannequin adventures.

the balloon wish room.
