PRESERVING DR. HAROLD BERG’S
BEAUTIFUL MOSAICS
Karen Berg and Dena Berg-Nelson, daughters of the late Dr.
Harold Berg, visited GLMS headquarters to repair tiles on the
beautiful mosaic Aesculapius, which adorns the front entrance
to our offices.
Dr. Berg’s daughters have been working on mosaics all their lives.
They still travel throughout the city of Louisville, and wherever
else Dr. Berg’s famous mosaics are preserved, so the mosaics can
stay looking their best.
“These mosaics were a big part of our childhood, maybe the big-
gest.” said Karen. “It was time spent with Dad. He was a surgeon
but he loved making these. Every one was donated, he didn’t take
money for them.”
Karen and Dena reminisced about coming home from school and
working in the family basement, arranging and cutting mosaic
tiles. Today, Dr. Berg’s mosaics can be seen in Israel, Washington
DC and numerous states throughout the country.
Aesculapius is one of two Dr. Berg mosaics preserved at GLMS
headquarters along with several other important historical pieces
in the GLMS Foundation History Room.
