The Arizona Capitol Museum’s iconic copper dome is the centerpiece of Arizona’s state government complex. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and originally dedicated in 1901, the historic Capitol building housed the Arizona Territorial and State Legislature until 1960 and Executive Offices until 1974. The building was then restored and rededicated as the Arizona Capitol Museum, officially opening in 1979. The Museum is a branch of the Arizona Legislative Council.
