French Room | Nationality Rooms | University of Pittsburgh
The French Room was dedicated in 1943 and decorated in the Empire style of the 18th century. The refinements of the era can be seen in the golden motifs in the furniture and crown mouldings on the walls, some of which are of Greek, Egyptian and Italian influence, an indication of the military campaigns that Napoleon led in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The Nationality Rooms are located in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning building. The rooms are gifts to the university from Pittsburgh's ethnic communities. Each room has been designed to represent the culture of the nation represented. The rooms function as university classrooms and are not open all the time for the public to explore particularly during school terms. Visitors are advised to contact the University for opening times and guided tours.

The very first Nationality Room opened in 1938, and new rooms are still being planned now. There are currently 30 Nationality Rooms at the Cathedral of Learning.
