The Art

We Belong to the Land

Sequoyah

Art abounds at every turn and floor of the Capitol. These pics are just a token of the many that one is at liberty to photo, admire, and stand back to contemplate. A visual history of the people, the land, and events that make this a proud place to call home.

My visit was not near long enough to capture all the photos nor absorb the stories that were told in the art work. I missed more than was seen. Another visit, at another time, is a must!

  4. Another nice series. You did a great job getting the photos inside the buildings, the colors really "pop" in the photos.

  5. I particularly enjoy "we are part of the land" mural. Makes a clear statement about the culture of the state, and it's about "regular" folks rather than heroes. But, then again, they could be considered heroes!
