'Burgh Blast - 5/7/10

The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh let out its inner-child with its Annual ‘Burgh Blast benefit. Prompted by the museum’s PITTSBURGH: Yinz Play! exhibition, grown-ups were given the opportunity to rewind the years and play as kids. Amidst the celebration, there were fireworks, Pittsburghese-inspired word illustrations, and even Pittsburgh-inspired hairstyles. The event also celebrated the Museum’s 2009 Institute of Museum and Library Services Medal, and live music by No Bad JuJu, acoustic artist Nick Marzock, and the legendary Donnie Iris capped off the night.
