Home Away From Home
Discover how Old Parliament House became a home: comfortable furniture, stylish dining rooms and even a hairdresser.
Location
King's Hall
When Old Parliament House first opened in 1927, not only was it our first purpose-built parliament, but also a home away from home for many of the politicians and staff who travelled to Canberra for work.
Looking at the objects and furniture on display in the Furnished exhibition space, this tour will explore the ways that these workers experienced some home comforts in the building.
