The Maridon has Changed its Hours of Operation

Our new hours are:
Wednesday through Saturday: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.


The museum will be closed Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. It will be open by special appointment on these days.


The Maridon opened on May 8th, 2004. It is the only museum in the Western Pennsylvania region with a specific focus on Asian Art and Culture coupled with German Meissen porcelain. The museum — both the objects and the buildings that house them — is the gift of Mary Hulton Phillips. Patricia Lowry, writing in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, pronounced the Maridon a "gleaming little gem of a museum."
