Old Parliament House was the home of Australia's government from 1927 to 1988.
Our volunteers are ambassadors for MoAD, sharing the stories of Old Parliament House.
We offer unique and rewarding opportunities through creative and collaborative partnerships.
Our collection captures the ideas, movements, people and events of Australian democracy.
Driven by an inquiry approach and critical reflection, we empower young people to become active citizens.
The Museum of Australian Democracy acknowledges Australia's First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We respectfully acknowledge the role that First Nations people continue to play in shaping Australia's democracy. We also acknowledge the Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the region in which MoAD is located.
