Displayed in the National Statuary Hall and other parts of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., the collection includes two statues from each state, except for Virginia which currently has one, making a total of 99.

Statues are currently located in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, the Crypt, the Hall of Columns, the Rotunda and various areas throughout the House and Senate wings of the Capitol. The list below sorts the statues by their location in the U.S. Capitol building.

Each state contributes two statues. National Statuary Hall displays 35 of the statues with others placed in the Crypt, the Hall of Columns and the Capitol Visitor Center.

Initially all of the state statues were placed in the Hall. As the collection expanded, however, it outgrew the Hall, and in 1933, Congress authorized the display of the statues throughout the building for both aesthetic and structural reasons. Presently, 38 statues are located in National Statuary Hall. [1]

National Statuary Hall is one of the most popular rooms in the U.S. Capitol Building. It, and its collection of statuary from individual states, is visited by thousands of tourists each day and continues to be used for ceremonial occasions.

It was on display in the Russell Senate Office Building before being moved to Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center. The bronze Statue of Freedom, facing east over the central entrance, crowns the dome of the United States Capitol.
