| Topic | Placement of Art |
| Content | Conference rooms have been placed blocking the public's view of two important pieces of art in the Capital. These pieces are on either side of the "Grand Staircase" and flamk the first piece of art placed in our Capital. The significance of these paintings are that they contain the 2,725 names of the Oklahomans that perished in World War I. I have been told that glass doors are planned for these conference rooms. However, I recently had a gentleman on tour whose father's name was on that wall and the only view he could have was from an art book that I carry with me on tours. Will he live long enough to see that name as he so richly deserves? Can we really be so desperate for conference rooms? When not in use, must the be locked and darkened? |
