Oregon State Capitol and its collection

Oregon State Capitol
Source

The Oregon State Capitol, located in the state capital Salem, is the seat of the state legislative assembly and the offices of the governor, the secretary of state, and the state treasury of Oregon. This is an important site for understanding the political history and current workings of the state.

Unique Architectural Style

The design of the Oregon State Capitol building deviates from the typical design of state capitol buildings. It is labeled as a combination of simplicity and neogreek refinement of Egypt, and is generally in the art deco style. It is one of only three state congresses in the United States that was built in this architectural style, making it a unique sight for architecture enthusiasts.

The building's architecture, featuring a distinctive gold pioneer statue atop the dome, is a highlight for many. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to learn about Oregon's government and history through self-guided tours or occasionally available guided tours.
