In Short
Visitors get acquainted with the spectacular golden dome outside and the marble interiors of the Capitol. You'll learn about the state's voting process, assigned seating in the Senate and practical joke-playing legislators. You can see a replica of Georgia's offical state reptile, the gopher tortoise, along with a stuffed armadillo, a black bear and a number of other animals and plants native to the state in the modest museum on the fourth floor.
