A Field Guide to Architectural Sculpture in America

Samples (Nebraska)

You might think that architectural sculpture in America would be concentrated in New York, Washington, Chicago, Detroit. That's right, much of it is. Largely rural, beautiful in ways urban centers can never be, the state of Nebraska would not seem to be an interesting or fruitful place to look for architectural sculpture.

But we chose Nebraska for an online sample of the Field Guide because there's a surprising depth here, including one of the most sophisticated and elaborate examples in the entire country.

These seven examples provide a flavor of what you can find even in the least likely places.
