Our vision and role
Old Parliament House is a living museum of social and political history. It is located in a nationally listed heritage building in Parkes, Canberra, and is an essential part of the Australian experience.
Old Parliament House helps people to understand Australia’s social and political history by interpreting the past and present and exploring the future. We achieve this by:
- bringing alive the importance of Parliament in the lives of Australians;
- interpreting, conserving and presenting the building and our collections;
- providing entertaining and educational public programs; and
- providing a range of other services that enhance the visitor experience.
