HORA: Nadia Comăneci - 50 Years of the Perfect 10 Exhibit
2026-07-26 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | HORA – MN – Suite 319, 75 5th St. W., Suite 319, Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
Visit the Romanian American Cultural Center on Sundays in July to view a special exhibit dedicated to one of the world’s most well known gymnasts of all time, Nadia Comăneci. Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Comăneci’s groundbreaking perfect 10 score at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, this exhibit explores how her flawless routine not only redefined the possibilities of gymnastics, but also transformed the global perception of athletic excellence.
Visitors will see how a 14‑year‑old gymnast from Romania captivated the world, inspired generations of athletes, and set new standards for precision, artistry, and discipline. Through photographs and historical context, the exhibit will trace Comăneci’s journey from her early training in Romania to her rise as a global symbol of grace and determination.
The exhibit will also highlight her enduring influence on the sport—from the evolution of scoring systems to the way young gymnasts around the world train, dream, and push the boundaries of what is possible. Nadia’s legacy extends far beyond medals; she became a cultural icon whose impact continues to echo across sports, media, and international representation.

HORA will be closed on July 5th in observance of the 4th of July holiday.

This tour concentrates on Landmark Center and the surrounding neighborhood.

Boiled in Lead is the longest-running Celtic punk band in America, and an important part of the foundation of what became Minnesota punk rock. Bob Mould was among those who praised the band’s first self-released LP (“Even the fiddles rock,”) and the Hüskers invited the band to play an early show at Goofy’s Upper Deck. An Onion A&E quote describes the band’s approach well: “…the prime purveyor of a style of Celtic music infused with punk-rock attitude, developing over the years with a hard-driving swirl that combined Irish folk with heavy rock and elements of styles from all over the world. …one of the best bands Minnesota’s ever produced. …even without amplification, Boiled In Lead can summon up furious punk-folk energy.” Boiled in Lead features Todd Menton (vocals, guitar, mandolin, bodhrán, whistle), Drew Miller (bass guitar, dulcimer), Morris Engel (drum kit) and Haley Olson (violin, vocals).
Summer Nights in Rice is presented by Rice Park Association in conjunction with the Twin Cities Mobile Jazz Project, with support from the Saint Paul Cultural STAR Program and program sponsors the Historic Hamm Building, Landmark Center, Landmark Tower Apartments & Sherman Associates, Park Towers Condominium Association, Schubert Club and The Saint Paul Hotel-The Grill.
