The U.S. Capitol Visitor Center

Here's a description of the new U.S. Capitol Visitor Center:

At 580,000 square feet, it’s the largest project in the Capitol’s 215-year history. It was originally scheduled to open almost four years ago, and the $621 million price tag is double the initial estimate.

As Cato's David Boaz sarcastically puts it, "What a perfect introduction to Congress and its activities!"
