Free guided tours take place every Monday and on non-sitting Fridays at 1:30pm. During NSW school holidays, tours run every weekday at both 11:30am and 1:30pm. Please note, there are no tours on public holidays. Learn more about our tours.

The Parliament of New South Wales is a prominent public venue in the Sydney CBD attracting thousands of visitors each year. Our expansive public exhibition space – the Fountain Court – is in Parliament's main thoroughfare, connecting the heritage façade of the former Rum Hospital to offices that accommodate members and staff.

The walls, including the Reconciliation Wall, are available for exhibitions of a high curatorial and artistic standard. Learn more about our exhibitions.

All are welcome to apply, however the Parliament encourages applications from New South Wales' Government departments and public authorities, local government bodies, Australian Government departments and public authorities, charitable or not-for-profit organisations, consulates and groups of New South Wales' artists. Exhibitions by solo artists will only be accepted at the discretion of the Presiding Officers. 

Exhibitions must have some connection to one or more of the following:

• The Parliament of NSW
• Particular communities within the state
• The general community in NSW

An exhibition cannot appear to contribute to a current political debate. Material should be in keeping with the profile of the parliamentary setting, be appropriate for general viewing and not be overly provocative.

To start, read the exhibition policy and guidelines. You will then need to contact a member of Parliament to request that they support your application and agree to act as the parliamentary host. Then, follow the steps on our exhibition page.
