Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is hosting “Putt-a-palooza: Art Inspired Mini Golf.”

“Putt-a-palooza” is an expertly designed nine-hole mini golf course that

originated at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg. Each custom-made hole is based on a different artwork in The Westmoreland’s collection. The artworks will be reproduced and displayed at MuseumLab in the playable mini golf course.

To create “Putt-a-palooza,” the Westmoreland collaborated with artist duo A Couple of Putts, who specialize in designing unique mini golf holes inspired by art that are creative and have a high quality of play. Production of the holes was completed by 3DX Scenic, a fabricator of immersive theming for amusement parks, museums, zoos, live events, and more.

The Westmoreland dedicated “Putt-a-palooza” to the memory of Tom Tanto, a pioneer in golf course development and irrigation, and a long-time supporter of The Westmoreland.

MuseumLab’s hours are every Saturday and Sunday (and select holidays) from noon to 5 p.m. The Children’s Museum’s fall hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with closures on select Wednesdays.

“Putt-a-palooza” will be open at MuseumLab through April 18.
