Ceiling of National Statuary Hall in The United States Capital Building
This picture shows the beauty of the ceiling and chandelier in National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capital Building. The half-dome shape of National Statuary Hall produces an acoustical effect whereby, in some spots, a speaker many yards away may be heard more clearly than one closer at hand. The modern-day echoes occur in different locations from those in the 19th century, when the floor and ceiling of the hall were different.
