The Californian capital since 1854, Sacramento is home to more than 32 theaters, galleries and museums, and is full of visible reminders of its past. The state historic park of Old Sacramento, on the Sacramento River, features 53 historic buildings (the largest collection in the West) and recreates the Sacramento of the gold rush. It includes the California State Railroad Museum, which highlights how railways shaped the lives, economy and culture of California and the West. Historic steam train rides run on weekends from April to September. Also in the neighborhood is the Crocker Art Museum. Opened in 1873, it is the oldest art museum in the west and exhibits early Californian paintings, drawings by the Old Masters and contemporary art. In the center of the city is the Renaissance Revival-style State Capitol and California State Capitol Museum. Modelled on the capitol in Washington, DC, the building has housed the California Legislature since 1869. Tours are also available of the grand Victorian Governor’s Mansion, home to 13 of California’s governors and filled with historic furnishings. Artefacts from more than 100 Native American tribes are on show at the California State Indian Museum, where an exhibit traces the life of Ishi, California’s last Yahi Indian. The new Golden State Museum tells the ongoing story of California and celebrates what is distinctive about the State. Over 100 species, 40 of them threatened or endangered, are housed at Sacramento Zoo, including polar bears, snow leopards and Sumatran tigers. Sacramento is home to professional ballet, opera and theater companies and has a vibrant nightlife, with dozens of clubs, comedy venues and restaurants offering everything from Moroccan to Vietnamese cuisine.
