In the last 10 years, the metropolitan area has been extensively redeveloped, with a significant shift away from heavy industry and an emphasis on biomedical and applied technology enterprises. Pittsburgh's cultural assets include a world-renowned symphony orchestra, professional opera and musical theater companies, a number of modern and classical dance groups, and many diverse small and large theater groups. The Carnegie, featuring museums of art and natural history, is home to one of the world's premier dinosaur collections as well as works of the great masters of art. The Carnegie also includes a science center featuring interactive exhibits and a museum dedicated to the work of western Pennsylvania native Andy Warhol.
Sports are also part of the Pittsburgh entertainment scene.
In addition to major league baseball, hockey, and football, the city is home to top college, high school, and independent competitors. For those who would rather participate, annual events like the City of Pittsburgh Marathon and 10K and the Great Ride bicycle tour are frequent. The city's parks and its wooded western Pennsylvania surroundings offer numerous opportunities for skiing, boating, road and mountain biking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, hiking, backpacking, hunting, and fishing. An ethnically rich city, Pittsburgh has grown into a great metropolitan area, yet has retained its friendly neighborhoods and small close-knit communities.
