Learn About the People Who Made the Nebraska State Capitol a Masterpiece

The first four individuals on this page are considered the key building team of the Nebraska State Capitol. They came together as architects, philosophers, and artists to lay the artistic foundation for the building. The artists featured below them continued that vision and added their own touches to the Nebraska State Capitol.

As you navigate through the artists, you will learn their histories and what inspired their work. There are links and sources for anyone interested in learning more about them.
