    THE FRENCH ROOM In 1936, Chairman Louis Celestin met with officials in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, resulting in the decision that the French Room should be designed by a French architect in Paris as the gift of the French government. Jacques Carlu was selected to make the final drawings. M. Carlu chose the Empire period, with his inspiration coming from the Napoleonic campaigns and the rediscovery of the art of classical civilizations, with the color scheme of grey, blue and gold. Jacques Carlu had been a member of the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Upon his return to France, he became director of the School of Architecture at Fontainebleau. To oversee the day-to-day activity, another French architect living in America, Paul Cret, one of the greatest authorities on French architecture at the time, worked with A. A. Klimcheck, University architect, and Gustav Ketterer, Philadelphia decorator, in the construction phase of the room. THE WALLS The wooden walls are painted with a translucent shade of grey known as French gray or grisaille. Luminous with a peculiar transparent quality, it was widely used in famous French interiors during the Empire Period. Slender pilasters are capped with delicately carved crowns, highlighted by gold leaf against a bronze background. Egyptian griffons and classical rosettes combine with Greek acanthus sprigs to accentuate the panel divisions. The paneling is designed to frame the black glass chalkboards. The display case contains a variety of objects d’art. THE FLOOR A highly polished parquet floor is laid in a pattern found in many of the rooms in the palace of Versailles.

Maxine Bruhns The Korean Heritage Room is inspired by Myeongnyundang, meaning the Hall of Enlightenment, the main lecture hall of Sungkyunkwan, the Royal Academy. It was built in 1398 during King Taejo’s reign of the Joseon (Korea) Dynasty in the capital city of Seoul. The Academy was Korea’s foremost institution of higher learning and produced many elite scholars. The building remains a prominent historic monument and reflects the beauty and harmony of the lines provided by traditional pine beams, pillars and countless rafters. All building materials, procured and crafted in Korea, were assembled in Pittsburgh by four Korean carpenters and painters whose specialty is tradi- tional Korean architecture. No nails were used in this Room, only wooden pins. In the center peak of the ceiling, two carved wooden phoenixes face the Female Phoenix, Pearl of Wisdom, Male Phoenix pearl of wisdom. On the south wall three documents explain the Letters and Principles of the Korean Alphabet. King Sejong invented this alphabet in 1446 and it became Korea’s official written language. The desks are made of oak and the chair frames are cast aluminum. In the 14th Century the teach- er and students sat on cushions. To the right of the chalkboard are two niches. The upper niche houses the ”Picture Book” of the Crown Prince’s matriculation written in 1817.
