The historic Nationality Rooms at the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning will be open to the public this Sunday.

The rooms, which have been prepped and ready for this year’s 28th annual Holiday Open House, will be open from noon to 4 p.m.

The community is invited to travel through all 31 Nationality Rooms, including the newly dedicated Philippine Room, and learn about each country’s holiday traditions from Pitt student tour guides.

Song and dance performances will take place throughout the day in the Commons Room of the Cathedral, and international foods and goods will be available.

Admission is free.

Established in 1926, Pitt’s 31 Nationality Rooms pay tribute to the cultural groups that settled in Allegheny County. They are located on the first and third floors of the Cathedral and are used as functioning classrooms.
