Historical Insight:

Many of the sculptures featured in this application are part of the renowned National Statuary Hall Collection, which invites individual states to contribute two statues each, totaling 100 striking artworks.

The inception of this remarkable initiative dates back to Congressman Justin Morrill's proposition in 1864, seeking to enrich the Capitol with portrait statues created by states at minimal cost. This visionary concept materialized into law on July 2, 1864, empowering every state to provide up to two bronze or marble statues portraying deceased individuals of historical, civic, or military prominence. These pieces found a home in the former Hall of the House of Representatives, evolving into what is now recognized as a "national statuary hall."

The vibrant history of this collaboration came alive with the arrival of the first state statue in 1870, setting in motion a wave of artistic contributions. Over the years, efforts were made to accommodate the growing number of statues within National Statuary Hall—a space that eventually reached its capacity by 1933. Subsequent legislative measures allowed for statue replacements and expansions, fostering an enhanced representation of diverse American figures within the Capitol.

The exclusive information available in this application is up-to-date as per the publication date.

Kindly note that the tactile reward associated with the Helen Keller experience is unavailable on iPads.
