🇺🇸 Welcome to Washington D.C.!

Continuing with the project of recreating the National Mall in Washington D.C. for the MiniWorld3D catalog, here is the Jefferson Memorial, modeled by Dany Sánchez .

The Jefferson Memorial is a national memorial in Washington, D.C., built in honor of Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence, a central intellectual force behind the American Revolution, and the nation's third president.

The Jefferson Memorial is built in neoclassical style and is situated on the shore of the Potomac River. It was designed by John Russell Pope. Construction on the memorial began in 1939 and was completed in 1943. Pope made references to the Roman Pantheon and to Jefferson's own design for the rotunda at the University of Virginia as inspirations for the memorial's aesthetics.

The Jefferson Memorial is composed of circular marble steps, a portico, a circular colonnade of Ionic order columns, and a shallow dome. The building is open to the elements. It has a diameter of approximately 165 feet (50 m) (from Wikipedia).

MiniWorld3D is happy to bring this historical model to life as a homage to all the people of the USA. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture!
