In 1983, the historic Allegheny Post Office building became the first home of the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. Since then, the museum has expanded to include the neighboring Buhl Planetarium building and a new addition. This expansion has allowed the museum to offer a wider range of exhibits and activities, making it a great destination for families and children.
