***ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION SEPTEMBER 12, 2026***
The Museum will host a forum for discussing the extensive contribtions of immigrants over this country's 250 years.
The Event is open to the public. Everyone is welcome.
Join us for a remarkable afternoon with members of some of the nationalities that built this country as we continue to celebrate our country's anniversary by honoring the men and women who shaped our nation's history.
We look forward to welcoming a broad audience from many of Cleveland's nationalities!
COME and be in the audience, join in and add to the discission and share your history.
This is a very unique event made possible by the rich mix of these nationalities still with significant presence in the greater Cleveland area and who are active in the preservation of their heritage.
This may never happen again, at least not in this way and for such a special event as the country's landmark anniversary.
The Museum will be OPEN at 1 pm.
The Discussion will begin at 2.

Our SPECIAL EXHIBIT celebrates the Hungarian immigrants and their descendants who have made significant contributions in Science, Mathematics, Business, the Military, Architecture, Literature, Cinematography, Film Making, Art, Photography, Entertainment and Sports.
COME SEE the LEGACY WALL that lists 148 of them - Medal of Honor recipients; Nobel Prize winners in Science, Economics and Medicine; Academy Award winners for Acting, Cinematography, Directing and Music; Pulitzer Prize winner in Literature; all Hungarian-Americans who made contributions to American life in many fields, and in many ways.
"I didn't know they were Hungarian!" - Among the many, some may surprise you:
Calvin Klein, Alanis Morissette, The Great Houdini, Gene Simmons (KISS), Adrien Brody, Goldie Hawn, Paul Newman, Tony Curtis, Adolph Zukor (Paramount Pictures), William Fox (Fox Film), Estee Lauder, Joseph Pulitzer, Andrew Grove (Intel), Charles Simonyi (Microsoft)... over 150 throughout the Exhibit!
THERE IS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION! Learn about their remarkable accomplishments, check out the interactive computer experiences, play with the science and math, discover their businesses' legacy, and watch videos of their personal background and history - all of them have enriched our lives and elevated the stature of the United States of America over its 250 year history.
COMING UP NEXT: A very special event in the Museum on September 12th which will include leaders of several other of Cleveland's Nationalities - Irish, Italian, Polish, and Ukrainian - a ROUND TABLE Discussion highlighting the remarkable contributions that immigrants have made over the 250 year history of this country...
