We invite visitors to step back in time and ponder the stories of the people, decisions, and events that shaped Australian democracy in the place where they unfolded.  

Our contemporary exhibitions, events, engagement and education programs cultivate a ‘people’s place’ - true to the building’s original brief – to improve understanding of democracy and the skills required to participate in it.
