California State Capitol Museum

The California State Capitol Museum comprises a museum that is in and on the grounds around the California State Capitol in Sacramento. The Capitol building has been the home of the California State Legislature since 1869. The building underwent a major renovation, known as the California State Capitol Restoration, from 1975 until 1982 to restore the Capitol to its former beauty and to retrofit the structure for earthquake safety. Although not generally considered earthquake country, Sacramento was hit by two earthquakes within days of each other in 1892 which damaged the Capitol. The State Capitol Museum has been a property in the California State Park system since 1982.
