1 review of Kansas State Capitol

Exploring the dome and artworks of the state captitol

The Kansas State Capitol is one of the most prominent landmarks in Topeka, Kansas and a must if you’re passing through the city. The highlight of the Kansas State Capitol is its impressive artworks, especially the large murals and frescoes that adorn the second-floor galleries and the main dome. Anyone who paid attention in their American history classes will automatically recognize the “Tragic Prelude” mural located on the second-floor. It’s one of those priceless pieces of Americana that’s even more moving when you see it up close. There is also a visitors’ center which gives you a bit of background information about the building’s architecture, history, construction, and modern-day uses.


However, perhaps the coolest part of the visit is the Dome Tour held at regular one-hour intervals throughout the entire day. The Dome Tour takes you on an elevated walkway that passes through the inner and outer domes and gives you an up-close look at the spectacular construction. You can also take the standard tours which give you a more in-depth look at the capitol’s major artworks as well as takes you through the modern legislative chambers.
