The Clemente Museum

The Clemente Museum is a nonprofit organization that commemorates and celebrates the life of Roberto Clemente. It is housed in historic Engine House 25, located in the up-and-coming Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh. Executive Director and Curator, Duane Rieder, has meticulously renovated this historic building to showcase the world’s largest exhibited collection of baseball artifacts, works of art, literature, photographs, memorabilia, and related materials which focus on Roberto Clemente, his teammates, his personal life, and his humanitarian causes. 

Roberto Clemente began playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1954, making a name for himself in the history of baseball the second he started his career. Not only was he battling competitors, but also highly present racial and cultural prejudices experienced in his industry and the greater world. He worked on the field to help his team, and he made strides off the field to fight these prejudices as well as get children involved in sports. Clemente has earned countless amounts of awards and achievements, and his life is definitely worth learning about.
