The Capitol Building

I was unable to go to The Capitol because I was getting tickets for The Holocaust Memorial but Jeron took pictures for me.  The Capitol is having some renovations so that is why you see scaffolding at the top.
There is a great deal of security to get into the building but they did allow for some pictures.
Do you know who painted the ceiling work of art?
At the end of the Revolutionary War, George Washington handed back power to Congress.  This showed his support for Democracy.  There are many statues inside the Capitol Building.  Do you know how many there are?
