The Nebraska Capitol is Unique Because of the Artwork

When the Nebraska State Capitol was designed, the art received as much attention as the columns and stone that hold up the building. The artwork of the Capitol tells the story of Nebraska. It tells us where we came from, how we govern, how we live, how we create, and more.

This website is meant to tell those stories once again. As we take time to consider our shared histories and stories, the artwork within the Nebraska State Capitol reminds us of where we started and where we can go. The Nebraska Capitol Art Experience also celebrates the men and women who made the building what it is today.
