The stunning mosaics by Hildreth Meiere, relief sculpture by Lee Lawrie, inscriptions by Hartley Alexander and large-scale murals make the capitol truly amazing. Visitors will be impressed in the rotunda by the eight civic and sacred virtues shown in the colorful tile dome as well as the 25,000 piece marble mosaic on the floor showing Earth as the Life Giver, which includes images of prehistoric life in Nebraska. Take in the view from the 14th floor observation level and the 19’ tall statue of The Sower.
