The Photo Antiquities Museum on the North Shore is looking for more room, reports Sam Butterfield of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“We are so jam-packed here that we have no space to expand,” said Bruce Klein, founder of the Photo Antiquities Museum. “We have been getting requests for people who want to come in and do research and we have no place to put anyone.

Ordinarily, admission is $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors.
