The Parliament of Ghana is set to open its first Parliamentary Museum to the public from Tuesday, September 22, 2026.
The museum, described as a landmark legacy project of the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban S. K. Bagbin, is intended to deepen public understanding of Ghana’s parliamentary history, institutions and democratic development.
According to Parliament, the museum will be open to visitors from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Members of the public who wish to visit are required to book through Parliament’s official website by selecting “Visit” and then “Museum” before completing and submitting the booking form. Visitors will receive a notification once their requests have been approved.
The museum features a curated collection documenting the evolution of Ghana’s Parliament, including historical photographs, parliamentary documents, records of past proceedings, artefacts and memorabilia belonging to former Speakers.
It also contains archival materials on the Legislative Council and Ghana’s constitutional milestones, as well as ceremonial and symbolic items associated with Parliament.
Interactive multimedia exhibits have also been incorporated to educate visitors on the law-making process and the history of governance in Ghana.
Parliament said the museum is expected to serve as a resource for the general public, students, researchers, tourists, Members of Parliament and parliamentary staff, while also providing international partners and other legislatures with an opportunity to explore Ghana’s democratic heritage.
The Parliamentary Service said the establishment of the museum forms part of Parliament’s commitment to openness and public education, while preserving the nation’s legislative history and institutional memory for future generations.
