Old Parliament House building works
MoAD is replacing roofs damaged by the 2020 hailstorm.
We are open
MoAD and the Courtyard Cafe are open as usual. Events and functions can be booked as usual.
MoAD is open 9am to 5pm daily, except Christmas Day.
Entry to the building is up the central staircase at the front of the building, and accessible entry is through the doors on either side of the staircase.

When you visit, you will see scaffolding on the building and parts of the roof will be covered.
There may be some noise and you may see a crane. Some car spaces at the front of the building will not be available when the crane is in use. Visit our Getting here and parking page for information about where to park.
