Washington is an elegant city with spacious parks, broad streets and magnificent buildings, especially in the government district. Grand Museums invite to study the political, cultural and natural history of the country. In particular the exponats of natural history are amazing and fascinating. The famous Capitol is open to the public and we took the chance to have a look into the interior. Under the far visible dome is a magnificent entrance hall. The huge rotunda shows with a frieze under the dome, with sculptures and paintings important personalities and historic scenes of the American history.
