What is it like inside the Parliament of NSW?
If you’ve never had the chance to visit the parliament buildings in Sydney, take a virtual tour and explore the corridors and rooms where decisions are made.
Explore the legislative chambers and grand historic rooms in a 360-degree virtual tour.
State MP Janelle Saffin said the Parliament of NSW was one of the first in Australia to offer an interactive virtual tour.
“Distance will be no obstacle as members of our community, including school students, can use the tour to virtually visit the oldest public building in Australia and explore their State Parliament,” Ms Saffin said.
The virtual tour includes pop-up information boxes highlighting hidden features and historical information since the 1820s.
The virtual tour also gives people the chance to explore the majesty of the Parliament’s historic Jubilee Room, once the Parliament’s ‘reading room’, and the iconic Fountain Court designed by Robert Woodward in 1983 and the colourful origins of the ‘Rum Hospital’, a colonial-era hospital built off the rum trade.
“This tour takes the Parliament to the people,” Ms Saffin said.
Visitors are always welcome in person at 6 Macquarie St, Sydney on weekdays from 9am to 5pm. Public tours run each Monday and Friday at 1.30pm.
