Two large mosaics flank the corridor leading from the security checkpoint to the airport shuttle. On one side is a version of the Pittsburgh of old, and opposite it is a version of Pittsburgh now.

A collaboration between the Pittsburgh Glass Center and the Airport Authority, the two pieces show the change in the focus of the city from the steel and industry of old, to the clean rivers and thriving Golden Triangle of today.

The mosaics are framed with glass over top, making it difficult to get a decent photo.  Glare and reflections are obvious so you'll just have to make sure you stop to see it on your next trip out of town.
