Great place for a quick visit when in Canberra. Even if you're like me and not the museum type. They have a floor full of years best political cartoons and caricatures. Most are quote humorous and very relevant to recent political events. Wandering around the old senate and house of rep halls was also quite nice. There are also interesting visual presentation of political timelines and displays of significant events such as suffrage movement with interactive digital features - makes the experience well worth it.

The tours are the best. This is a great place to stop and have a look around. They have done an amazing job keeping everything exactly they were the day the politicians moved out and enter the NEW parliament house. They even have thoughtful play area for the kids. Drop in and you will enjoy your time there.

A nice quiet environment to see the Australian ways of politics and history. Staffs are friendly and very helpful. We were happy to pay $5 entry but then realised there are other exhibitions that requires more payment which we gladly skipped. Parking outside was only 1 hour so beware of the time you spend there. Overall a good experience.

Came for a visit with family from interstate, enjoyed the exhibition of political cartoons the most. Loved the interactive displays and had fun looking at the timelines. Fascinated by the display of Barton’s coat, and enjoyed learning about the history through the fashion of the time. We also were able to take a break, have a coffee and go back for more. Well worth the visit to learn about the development and history of democracy.

always good to see Australia's historic parliament house and longest servicing parliament house in Australia's history. Although less space to explore than the present parliament house, it has beautiful rooms and architecture nonetheless. The Australian Museum of Democracy is also worth a visit, detailing Australia's long democratic history, particularly from federation in 1901 to today, and how the Australian political system and mechanics works.
