26 Countries in a Day

Sunday September 20, 2009

Austrian Room, Nationality Classrooms in Pittsburgh
The local college campus might not be the first place that comes to mind when planning a sightseeing trip, but the Nationality Rooms at the University of Pittsburgh are a notable exception. These 26 functional classrooms in the towering Cathedral of Learning display the rich ethnic heritage of the Pittsburgh area, each architected and decorated in a style that exemplifies the country they represent. Where else can you visit 26 countries in one day?
