The holidays are in full swing at the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh!

Jim Cunningham speaks with Senior Director of Marketing and Communications Stefanie Cedro Mohr and Carnegie Museum of Art Director of Education and Public Programs Dana Bishop-Root live on the QED Morning Show about how the Art and History Museums are spending the season.

Dana talks about Carnegie Trees, five firs located in the Hall of Architecture and coordinated by the Women's Committee. This year's theme is inspired by Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days, and the trees are accompanied by sound, creating an immersive multi-sensory experience. The Museum of Art is also currently displaying the Neapolitan presepio, a centuries-old nativity tradition from Naples, Italy.

Stefanie introduces the Natural History Museum's newest exhibition, The Stories We Keep: Bringing the World to Pittsburgh, which explores the museum's role throughout history as a storyteller and how a museum collection comes to be. She also encourages community members to visit the Museum of Art's exhibition, Black Photojournalism, a chronicle of Black history in the United States from 1945 to 1984, featuring the work of nearly 60 photographers.
