A lively essay explains why the Capitol looks the way it does today and the significance of the building to Montana's self-representation.The artwork of the Capitol is placed into the context of American art, and the interpretation of the murals will enrich any visitor's experience.Capitol's statuary is discussed, giving readers the background they need to understand the Montanans memorialized there in bronze and marble.Lavishly illustrated, this book provides a long overdue tribute to this crown jewel of Montana architecture and gives readers a fresh appreciation for this Temple of Democracy.
