Visiting the Murals

A 60-minute docent-guided tour of the murals is a fascinating glimpse into Vanka's art and the experiences that shaped his ideas. Docents discuss Vanka's early life, his success in Europe and his life in America.

Docent-led tours on Saturdays: 11:00am, 12:00noon and 1:00pm. For special arrangements, please call William Stout at 412-821-3019. Weekend masses at St. Nicholas Church are at 6:00pm on Saturday and Noon on Sunday.

The church is located at 24 Maryland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15209, minutes from downtown, just off Route 28 at the Millvale exit. Click here for a map and detailed directions.
