Description
The Library of Congress, the most richly decorated public building in Washington, has been called “our national monument of art.” It is more than that. Completed in 1897 on Capitol Hill across from the US Capitol and adjacent to the Supreme Court Building, the Library embodies a late 19th century vision in architecture, painting, sculpture, and mosaic of the West’s rich cultural heritage and America’s place in forwarding that tradition. How many of us have visited, let alone savored the beauty and magnificence of the Thomas Jefferson Building? Join us for a virtual tour of the rich decorations and inspiring stories told in our country’s preeminent “Temple of Knowledge.”
