NEW EXHIBIT OPENING 🎉June 27 at 10 AM! 🎉
We’re proud to introduce the Frank Lloyd Wright Field Office Museum—a groundbreaking “museum within a museum” that builds on Wright’s original San Francisco field office, meticulously reassembled on our Erie campus in 2021.

This immersive new experience offers the most comprehensive look yet at Wright’s life and work—revealing not just the architect, but the person behind the designs. Because to truly appreciate Wright’s creations, you have to understand the man himself.
Step into a 1,000-square-foot interactive space where history comes alive through:
✨ Rare artifacts & personal letters
✨ Never-before-seen memorabilia
✨ Interactive exhibits & hands-on experiences
✨ Audio and video of Wright sharing his ideas and creative philosophy
The original San Francisco field office—used by Wright from 1951–1959—has already become one of our most popular attractions, drawing visitors from around the world. Now, there’s even more to explore.
📍 Join us in Erie and experience Wright like never before.
