Categories
Members of the community are welcome for an afternoon of exploration and engagement while enjoying beautifully decorated rooms.
The Nationality Rooms are classrooms inside the University of Pittsburgh’s iconic Cathedral of Learning which celebrate the cultures that helped to build Pittsburgh. The program began in 1926 and each room is planned and financed by its own committee. The university agrees to provide the room and upkeep. Each room is a unique blend of history museum and active classroom. The Rooms inspire lectures, seminars, concerts exhibitions and social events which focus on the various heritages and traditions of the nations represented.
Guests will have the opportunity to participate in traditional crafts and cultural demonstrations to learn about the rooms and the Nationality and Heritage Room Committees and their ethnic communities and traditions. In the Cathedral of Learning Commons, guests will enjoy traditional foods and baked goods as they listen to world and holiday music and shop for handcrafted and cultural wares and other items that represent the cultural diversity of the Nationality and Heritage Rooms. St. Nicholas will make an appearance for photos with children and families.
The event is free and open to the public. Food and gift items will be available for purchase.
