Why it’s the best!
Completed in 1932, the Nebraska State Capitol is beautiful Art Deco building that houses the primary offices of all three branches of Nebraska state government. By law, this structure is the tallest in Lincoln, and it houses wonderful commissioned art and sculptures throughout.
Named after Abraham Lincoln, the Nebraska State Capitol is a great place for people of all ages. Head to the top and take in the view of the city from the top of the 400-foot high tower of the Capitol building. It offers beautiful mosaic ceilings and floors, paintings and sculptures. One of the most famous objects is the 19-foot tall bronze statue that stands atop the Capitol. Take a tour on the hour any day of the week!
Recommendation: Visit the lookout area at the very top of the Capitol building for a panoramic view of the city.
