We went to the crypt, saw the statues representing the states, and the Frieze of American history in the rotunda. We were able to enter the senate and the house of representatives, where we had to leave all our stuff (wallet, electronic devices). We heard one of the guards told a story of the attack of the Capitol to some visitors.
