The Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House is a living museum of social and political history, located in a nationally listed heritage building in Parkes, Canberra.
The Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House helps people to understand Australia’s social and political history by interpreting the past and present and exploring the future. We achieve this by:
- bringing alive the importance of Parliament in the lives of Australians;
- interpreting, conserving and presenting the building and our collections;
- providing entertaining and educational public programs; and
- providing a range of other services that enhance the visitor experience.
- Students participating in MoAD’s learning programs will be empowered to become active citizens through inquiry-based learning in the very location where decisions that shaped our nation were made.
- Our Australian Curriculum aligned programs offer unique learning experiences relating to Civics and Citizenship; History; Geography; HASS; English and The Arts, as well as the General Capabilities and Cross Curriculum Priorities.
