| AD ASTRA CONTACT FORM |
"Ad Astra" is a 22' tall cast bronze Kansa Indian
that was installed on top fo the State Capital Building in
Topeka, Kansas. “Ad Astra per Aspera,” to the stars
through difficulties, is the state motto and exemplifies the
aspirations of the people of Kansas. The significance of
this attitude has been incorporated into the development
of the Capitol Dome sculpture. The sculpture, “Ad
Astra,” includes historical aspects of the past, realities of
the present, and dreams of the future to illustrate this
spirit of Kansas.
“Ad Astra: represents the visionary and stable qualities
that characterize the citizens and governments of
Kansas. The foundation of the state and its government
is the people, represented by the Kansas Indian in "Ad
Astra.” The Kansas Indians were the original people of
this area.”
