"Glory of Germania" Reception - Scharpenberg Art Gallery (DANK Haus)
The DANK Haus German American Cultural Center invites you to join us for a reception celebrating our Glory of Germania exhibit! Featuring over 1,000 tiles, this 125-year-old mosaic was part of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
Guests will have the opportunity to listen to our keynote speaker while enjoying refreshments and viewing the mosaic from our viewing platform.
