REVISITING THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH'S NATIONALITY ROOMS PROGRAM : HUNGARIAN ROOM

NATIONALITY ROOMS at PITT : UNIVERSITY OF PITTBURGH 

There are many rooms to visit featuring ethnic identities from those nations that were important to immigration to the Steel City.

Excerpt: The Hungarian Room features folk art designs and colors, especially so in the ceiling panels painted by a Budapest artist and sent to Pittsburgh in the 1930's. Repeated tulip patterns abound there and in the furniture's woodcarvings.

The windows show a timeline of Hungarian national birth, from legendary foundations to the seven tribes, all the way to 19th century artistic flowering of Hungarian voices in poetry, painting and music.

Take a virtual tour of the room itself by going to this link where you can click on the floor, the ceiling, and so on, to see a bit of Hungarian craftsmanship used to build the insides of this room at the University of Pittsburgh. Many Hungarian immigrants made it to Pittsburgh where there was always work in industry.
