About

The Car and Carriage Museum is part of The Frick Pittsburgh, the museum campus at the corner of Penn and South Homewood avenues in the Point Breeze neighborhood (entrance on Reynolds Street). It houses the Frick's collection of historic carriages and automobiles dating to the turn of the 20th century — including some of the first horseless carriages to reach Pittsburgh — and hosts temporary exhibitions on the city's role in the developing automobile industry. A section of the museum is free to visit, and free guided tours are offered Saturdays at 1 and 3 p.m. It is open Tuesday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. (closed Mondays).

Our Guidelines

1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page

Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.

2. Include All Mobility Devices

Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.

3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance

ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.

4. Visibility = Accessibility

If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
