About the Capitol

The California State Capitol is the seat of the California government, located in Sacramento, the capital of California. The Capitol building serves as both a museum and the state’s working seat of government.  The building houses the chambers of the California State Legislature, made up of the California State Assembly and the California State Senate, along with the office of the Governor of California.  Visitors to the Capitol can at once experience California’s rich history and witness the making of history through the modern lawmaking process.

The Capitol Museum is part of the California Department of Parks and Recreation, and one of hundreds of State Parks in California. Check out the Visit page to plan your trip to the Museum!
