The Nationality Rooms

THE MAJESTIC Cathedral of Learning is located on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh and is the tallest educational building in the Western Hemisphere. Within it are 30 rooms dedicated to the history and cultures of many nations, used daily for classes, tutoring and lectures.

Room 121 is the location of the Hungarian Room, a showplace for the art, history and folklore of our proud people. Within the confines of this classroom, visitors can see beautiful oak woodworking, historically significant stained glass windows, beautifully-painted ceiling tiles and many items of handcrafted embroideries. Many rare pieces of porcelain, paintings and works of obscure folk art can be viewed as well. An original pocket watch once owned by Hungarian patriot Lajos Kossuth can be examined.

First conceived in the late 1920s, the room was the result of many hours of planning and construction. Artists and educators from Hungary were brought in to add their expertise to the project. The Hungarian Room was formally dedicated on September 29, 1939.

A long-standing tradition has been a holiday season open house spotlighting all of the Nationality Rooms, held the first Sunday of December. This year, that tradition continues on Dec. 3 as the doors will be open for group tours or casual individual viewing between noon and 4:00 p.m.

For the open house, many of the rooms will be decorated for the Christmas season in a manner reflecting the traditions and customs of each room’s nationality. Ethnic foods from around the world will be sold and performances of traditional music and dancing will be featured in the Cathedral’s common area.

The December wordsearch features 14 clues pertaining to the Hungarian Room. The words includes names, specific items or components that make this room a unique showcase of Hungarian pride. For more information on the open house or the Nationality Rooms in general, log onto: www.nationality rooms.pitt.edu.

Good Luck! Merry Christmas! See you in 2018.

Boldog Karácsonyt! Boldog Új Evet!
