When you visit the Nebraska State Capitol be sure to walk around the exterior sidewalk to view the exterior. The architectural detail of the limestone facade often goes unnoticed due to the beauty of the interior. But the exterior also has the power to uplift our spirits as it soars 400 feet into the sky. After you visit the Capitol, check out Ben Rhodes K’nex model of the Capitol at the History Nebraska Museum five blocks north of the Capitol on Centennial Mall at P Street. His model will dazzle and amaze as visitors see the Capitol exterior is colorful new way. For information about visiting the History Nebraska Museum follow this link. Step across P Street to view the Capitol centered on the Mall, another spectacular view of our world class monumental Capitol.
