Art at Hoover Dam, Nevada...

Much of the sculpture at Hoover Dam is the work of Norwegian-born, naturalized American Oskar J.W. Hansen. His most prominent work is a pair of bronze ...

These figures guard the plaque designed by Hansen which commemorates the 96 men who officially died during the construction of Hoover Dam. The plaque which originally was on the Arizona side of the dam, reads:

"They died to make the desert bloom. The United States of America will continue to remember that many who toiled here found their final rest while engaged in the building of this dam. The United States of America will continue to remember the services of all who labored to clothe with substance the plans of those who first visioned the building of this dam."

Thanks for visiting,
George
