Out of Many, One: Exhibition Hall
Out of Many, One tells the story of Congress - the branch of government responsible for making the nation's laws. It is a story of famous legislators as well as ordinary citizens, of high ideals and the nation's efforts to achieve them. It is also the story of the Capitol itself - and of the workers, artists, and architects who created a great national landmark.

History of Congress
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured - through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
