We were thrilled to be part of the 2026 NFL Draft in so many meaningful ways including debuting new artworks, displaying some favorite outdoor exhibits at the draft, and so much more. It was incredible to be featured on the NFL Draft stage, and to bring outdoor exhibit components Rope and Spinning Chairs to the Kids Play Zone. We were also proud to be involved with the installation of multiple public art pieces throughout the city, including Ogua by Isla Hansen in partnership with Shiftworks Community + Public Arts and Riverlife, Local Time and Weather by John Peña which is at Arts Landing Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, and custom window displays created in partnership with Fred Rogers Productions along with windows highlighting the Children’s Museum and MuseumLab as part of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership storefront activation. A special thank you to P3R for utilizing our space, and to ENGIE Impact, on behalf of the NFL and official NFL vendors, for their generous donations of turf, materials, snacks, and more that are being sustainably repurposed at the museum. And a final thank you goes out to all of the visitors, donors, foundations, corporate partners, staff, and board members who engaged with us and worked on behalf of the draft to make it a weekend to remember. Congratulations to the teams at VisitPITTSBURGH, National Football League (NFL), and Pittsburgh Steelers on a truly successful and record‑breaking event. It's an honor to have been a part of it.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night at MuseumLab. If you haven't yet secured your ticket, visit https://lnkd.in/gAbDNT4N now. Don't miss your chance to hear from this powerhouse panel!
