Undoubtably the most eccentric feature on Albany's Empire State Plaza, The Egg is an unprecedented piece of architecture that tells the story of its location. As the city's capital center, the plaza claims the most elevated space in the city. The Empire State Plaza contains very important buildings, such as the New York State Museum, New York State Executive Mansion, and an impressive art collection. The Egg, much like the Plaza itself, is set above its surroundings on a pedestal. Referring back to regality, its shape is held like the jewel in a king's scepter, in an arena of prominence and expressing the importance of the buildings it sits next to.
