The United States is known for many marvels of architectural genius. Towering skyscrapers are the norm as America climbs ever higher. The character of New York State has had tremendous influence on the American skyline, so it is not surprising that the city of Albany boasts one of the more curious architectural landmarks in North America.

The Egg, found in the heart of Empire State Plaza, cuts a truly unique profile against the US backdrop. Twelve years in the making, The Egg is a center for performing arts, showcasing a variety of programs. Though it is as much a sculpture as it is an architectural wonder. The Egg sits atop a platform that reaches six stories into the earth below, and houses two state of the art theatres for music, cabaret, multimedia presentations and educational programming, with a combined seating capacity of more than 1400 people.

The Egg is also available for hire. In the past, this modern wonder has been host to ABC's Nightline, the NY State School Board Association, The Albany Symphony, Anheuser Busch events, Second City National Touring Company, and Bruce Hornsby, among others.
