Admire the architecture and artwork at Nebraska State Capitol. Both the inside and the outside of the 120 m (400 ft) capitol are adorned with symbolic friezes, mosaics, and murals that depict both the world and the Nebraskan heritage. The tower provides excellent views of Lincoln and is capped by a reflective, golden dome that features a 5.8 m (19 ft) sculpture of the Sower. The building offers many amenities, including a cafeteria, gift shop with Nebraska-related books and memorabilia, restrooms, and a private room for mothers with children. Free guided tours of the capitol are readily available. It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to Nebraska State Capitol and many more Lincoln attractions: make an itinerary online using Klarna Trips Lincoln trip planning website.

It was a random trip. We traveled to Lincoln to buy a car. Walked the streets that are lined in a perfect grid. While the tall building is a marvel, the treasure lies inside, dim light, spectacular tall beams, peerless marble work, wall murals, prefect chandeliers, the state house chambers, it has an imposing peaceful and quiet gravitas. The interplay of architecture, light and muted displays create a harmonious experience. The building is the museum. A must see.

Missed the guided tour, but it wasn't really never to appreciate the architecture. Beautiful view from the observation deck.we even found out house. Will definitely be going again this summer
-
Very neat capital building. We didn't do the tour of inside, just walked around the outside and enjoyed the building and the well maintained grounds.

We checked this place out on our road trip. The day before we’d stopped by the Iowa State Capital, our first time in one, and we were interested to see they differed. This building was interesting because it had a castle like feel to it, and we got to sit and watch a senate hearing as it was happening. Very cool
-
Impressive architecture and artwork, mosaics, murals and tile work. Very interesting historically and culturally! Take the elevator to the top flor and you'll see an impressive view of the city and the Capitol's surrounding area.
