THE CAPITOL
Visitor Center Complex to Open Dec. 2
The U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, the $621 million, state-of-the-art exhibition, tourist and legislative complex that has been under construction for six years, will open Dec. 2, congressional leaders announced yesterday.
The underground center beside the east front of the Capitol is decorated with skylights, fountains and spiral staircases, and will have exhibits, a 400-seat restaurant and two orientation theaters.
A staging site for tours of the Capitol, it will also display the 19-foot, 150-year-old plaster model for the bronze statue of Freedom that was placed atop the Capitol dome Dec. 2, 1863.
