The Nationality Rooms at the University of Pittsburgh were named on the “The Cool List 2019” by National Geographic Traveller UK.

The article features 19 “destinations set to hit the headlines” in the year 2019, and names Pittsburgh as one of its “must-see” sites, with a mention of the Nationality Rooms.

The 30 Nationality Rooms inside the University’s Cathedral of Learning represent different cultures from the world. Most also function as classrooms, and the public is welcome to tour the rooms yearround. The 31st room, the Philippine Nationality Room, will be dedicated in a June 2019 ceremony.
