PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The Andy Warhol Museum is to be highlighted by President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle at next month's Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh, officials say.

The museum is one of several cultural sites to be featured during the Sept. 24-25 international meeting of financial ministers at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, the White House said Monday.

The Obamas will hold a reception at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, lauded by the White House for its green-certified welcome center and tropical forest addition, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday.

Michelle Obama is to lead summit spouses on a tour of the Warhol Museum and then view a performance at Downtown, the city's public creative and performing arts magnet school, the newspaper reported.

The Obamas also are to hold a dinner at Rosemont, a farm owned by Teresa Heinz, wife of U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
