The most famous art works within the capitol are, perhaps, the Thomas Hart

these murals are today a much-treasured representation of all the dynamic events
and people that have gone into the making of a great state. Bring your color film! 573-751-4127 General hours daily 9 - 5 Tour Hours: The capitol is closed January 1st, Easter, Thanksgiving and December 25th. During legislative session (January through May) the capitol suggests visitors

Share your comments with us! My husband and I stopped in at the capitol in November, 2008. We took the tour given by the most wonderful man. The murals by Thomas Hart Benton were explained magnificently by our guide. The grounds were also beautiful and filled with wonderful statues. -Sharon T., from Minnesota
