Also, a long list of famous Pittsburgh athletes is also scheduled to appear at the event, from Franco Harris to Bill Mazeroski to Phil Bourque.
Sports fans started filing into the exhibit this morning.
"I'm a big Pirates fan, so the World Series trophies are pretty cool," said Dillion Galber, of Belle Vernon. "We just got a picture of the Super Bowl trophy. That was pretty cool. This is fun. If you're a Pittsburgh sports fan you've got to be down here."
