The exterior of the dome is beautiful as well
The Minnesota State Capitol dome is the second largest self-supported marble dome in the world, behind Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, on which Gilbert based his design.
That golden statue is actually a statue depicting Christopher Columbus standing in a four horse chariot guided by two maidens carrying staffs of victory. I wonder how long before some progressive losers tear it down.
Below the golden statue there are 6 marble figures that represent "the six virtues that support and assist the progress of the state – the underlying virtues of good citizenship"
There's tons more cool artwork there too. It's a really impressive building that is unfortunately stuck in some backwards flyover state.
