    Colorado Day Celebration

  • Yearlong
    Colorado State Capitol
    3rd Floor Rotunda

    As part of the building’s celebrations, the Inspired to Serve exhibit in the 3rd floor rotunda opened this February. Featuring photos of all 100 current legislators, it asks two questions: What inspired them to serve? and What is special about their district? 

    This exhibit is meant to inspire Colorado’s future generations to learn about civics and maybe one day run for office themselves. Be sure to head up to the 3rd floor next time you’re in the Capitol and take a look.
