Virtual Tour—NYS Capitol Building

Tours of the New York State Capitol and the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza are organized by the New York State Office of General Services’ department of Curatorial and Visitor Services.

The Flag Room, maintained in collaboration with the New York State Military Museum
