Iowa State Capital

When we travel we often go to the Internet and type in "What to do in (Fill in the City)" . We did this for Des Moines, Iowa and the Number One thing to see is the State Capital. It turns out that is a wonderful recommendation. The architecture is fabulous!











These "Paintings" are most impressive, even more so as you get closer and realize they are mosaics.







 

The variety of colors, finishes and craftsmanship are impressive



The law library could have been a movie set for something from Harry Potter at Hogwarts











These rotating Arts and Craft book holders are most interesting 


















This wall decoration is prior to wall paper and is all done with hand painted stencils 


Detailed paint work

LOTS of children were there for tours









Entrance to the Iowa Supreme Court chamber











Quite the place to visit
