The Carnegie Trees Tradition
Since 1961, the annual installation and decoration of the soaring evergreens in the Hall of Architecture, fondly known as “The Carnegie Trees,” has been the signature tradition of the Women’s Committee of Carnegie Museum of Art, which underwrites and facilitates the trees as its gift to the Pittsburgh community. Your support of this annual fundraiser ensures the Women’s Committee’s financial support of Carnegie Museum of Art.
