The Columbus Doors
""[T]he first image we encounter as we enter the Capitol Rotunda, is the massive Columbus Doors at the east entrance of the Rotunda. Acting as a literal and figurative gateway to the shrine of American history and mythology, the doors present an interesting focal point for the discussion of American public memory." Standing nearly seventeen-feet tall and weighing 20,000 pounds, the doors were created by sculptor Randolph Rogers in 1857. Designed as eight bas relief panels, topped by a lunette, each panel tells a part of the Columbus story."
