Winter Tales

Winter Tales transforms the McKenna Gallery into an immersive winter wonderland designed to captivate visitors of all ages. Using cutting-edge projection technology, surround sound, and special effects like falling snow and mist, the installation brings classic American winter paintings to life. You'll feel like you've stepped directly into the artworks themselves, surrounded by snowy landscapes featuring scenes from Greensburg, Pittsburgh, and the countryside. The experience showcases paintings by celebrated artists including William Coventry Wall, Charles W. Gibbons, Henry Koerner, and Ron Donoughe, created by the award-winning OLO Creative Farm. This is a wonderful outing for families seeking an engaging, sensory-rich experience that combines art appreciation with interactive wonder. The museum runs on a completely free admission basis with no advance reservation needed—simply visit during regular Museum hours. Original winter paintings from the collection are also on display alongside the immersive installation, making this a multi-layered art experience perfect for curious minds of any age.
