Working closely with Dole Institute Director Richard Norton Smith, Split Rock Studios created exhibits to chronicle the accomplishments of Senator Robert Dole from his boyhood in Russell, Kansas, through the decades of service to his country.
Twenty-one exhibit cases radiate from two large stained glass windows designed by Split Rock Studios one of which is the largest stained glass American flag in the world. Key experiences in Doles life are interpreted through five video programs, including a stunning multi-screen video of the legislative process, shown beneath a large-scale replica of the Capitol dome in Washington D.C. Exhibits also include a Memorial Wall honoring Kansas WWII veterans and a three-dimensional marquee of Russells Dream Movie Theatre a place often frequented by the young Bob Dole. Also on display are two columns retrieved from the World Trade Center and Doles uniform and medals from WWII.
