Very neat building. I loved exploring the town of Santa Fe and checking out its beautiful pueblo style homes, this building was no exception! You can read more about this place on the plaques! Enjoy Santa Fe!

Not the loveliest building on the outside, unique and round though. It has a nice big rotunda-type center and a very cozy feeling in the 3rd floor hallways and seating areas, which are plentiful. Possibly the best contemporary art works of any (of the 30+) capitol buildings we have visited. I like that it appears tobe functional, almost elegant, and was paid for by a foundation, rather than public funds.

Another great find from going on the museum 10am walk (strongly recommend). Would never have thought of coming into building or how interesting it was but tour took us here. So good inside that we stayed behind and looked around the different floors, the rooms and the massive art collection.

We were a party visiting from Puerto Rico and Maryland, and one of the places we wanted to see was the State Capitol. We are so happy that we took our time to go. There was a quilt exhibition with the theme blue, and it was simply gorgeous! The building is full of art. The staff was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

We werent able to go inside because it was the weekend but the grounds were nice and clean. Lots of plants, trees, and cool sculptures. Area felt safe and was easy walk to rest of downtown Santa Fe sites. Building is cool...not the classic dome Capitol but round, adobe looking building. Easy visitor parking on east side near visitor center and Mission de Miguel.

As a native New Mexican Im happy I was finally able to visit the state capital building. The round layout reminds me of a kiva but it is unique for sure. When I visited in November of 2018 the trees along the main entrance had vibrant, beautiful fall colors. This would definitely be a nice place for photographs.

Worth seeing for the unique design. The legislative chambers and art galleries inside arent particularly interesting, although there are some cool pieces if you look carefully for them. Overall an okay place to wander past/through but not really an essential part of a visit to Santa Fe.

Rep. Larry Scott of Hobbs County, New Mexico, KNOWINGLY accepted over $65,000 dollars in stolen, embezzled, and extorted money, including federal student loan money which extorted from me himself with blackmail. He attempted to launder it through cashiers checks. Hes a rotten crook who committed a serious crime. This is NOT A JOKE. My family was the victim of his crime. Please contact me for details. This story needs to be brought out into the light.

A must see if you are in Santa Fe! Amazing collection of are displayed in the circular Halls of the capital. Dont forget the displays in the walkway to the North Annex. Well worth plugging a meter for at least two hours or more. Neither chamber was in session so there was plenty of time and space to enjoy the art. The was even a display in the Governors office!

I took a free tour and had a great guide Sharon Candelario explain the history of the building and the art that was displayed. I did not plan to visit the state capital while visiting New Mexico but it was recommended from the shops in town. Im glad I went to visit the state capital.

I just got to say we had a surprising time wondering the halls of the Round House. Art is usually not a pastime adventure. But around (no pun intended) every corner something to feast the eyes on. No security hurdles to endure & I found the different furniture quite amazing. Curb appeal is 2 stars, but inside 5 stars plus. Its just plane GORGEOUS. Go see for yourself

Reminds me of Austin Texas. They have a great art community here and it has great vibe to the city. If you are in the area start at the capital and check it out.

New Mexico displayed its true racism and hatred towards Italian Americans today in an attempt to erase history.
