The most famous art works within the capitol are, perhaps, the Thomas Hart
Benton murals in the third floor house lounge. Greeted with hostility at first,
these murals are today a much-treasured representation of all the dynamic events
and people that have gone into the making of a great state.

Share your comments with us! My husband and I stopped in at the capitol in November, 2008. We took the tour given by the most wonderful man. The murals by Thomas Hart Benton were explained magnificently by our guide. The grounds were also beautiful and filled with wonderful statues. -Sharon T., from Minnesota
