From the Scrapbook - Lincoln Capitol Brochure


This is an official brochure which acts as a guide for the building, including its art.

These six murals were added to celebrate the 1967 state centennial. Marxhausen was to only artist to create two for the Capitol, "The Spirit of Nebraska" and "The Building of the Capitol."
