Parliament of Australia

The enormous Parliament House features 4,700 individual rooms, many of which are accessible to the general public. The grand marble staircase in the entryway leads to the Great Hall, which features an elaborate tapestry. In contrast to the red of the Senate chamber, the House of Representatives chamber is decked in green.

Old Parliament House Gardens

Between the years of 1927 and 1988, the Federal Parliament met in Old Parliament House. The social and political landscape of Australia saw profound shifts during this time. The development of Australia's democratic institutions took place in this same structure. The foundations of the nation were laid here.

Magna Carta Place

Parliamentary democracy in Australia can trace its roots back to the Magna Carta. There is a copy of the Magna Carta from 1297 on display in Parliament House; it is one of just four such copies in the entire world and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere.

National Library of Australia

National Library of Australia is responsible for important Australian and non-Australian documents. These resources are collected, conserved, and made available by the Library or other libraries and information providers.
