However, there have been institutions and people in the past that have donated these monuments to public buildings. What's wrong with displaying them? There should be anything wrong with it.

I agree if some monument has been in a building so long that it has become a national heritage item, or something like that, then perhaps its OK. In general, I don't think religious items should be in government areas, and it all comes out of the basic idea of separation of church and state. Why are you claiming its nothing? A religious item is not put in a government building purely as a matter of altruism, it is put their as an expression of religion. If 100% of the users of the building are members, fine, but then you are in Saudi Arabia. In the US there is diversity of religion, so having one denominations symbol but not another denominations symbol is just a recipe for problems.
