In the rotunda, artists of the Works Progress Administration added beautiful paintings chronicling the state’s history. The seagulls of the interior dome have six-foot wingspans to be seen by visitors 165 feet below. The many statues beneath them, happily untouched by the seagulls, show those important to the early formation of Utah, including Brigham Young, whose bold, striding likeness radiates his determined forward momentum.
