Parliament of Ghana Opens Doors to Its First Parliamentary Museum

The Parliament of Ghana has announced the formal opening of its Parliamentary Museum to the public, effective Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

According to a press release issued by the Parliamentary Service, the Museum stands as a landmark legacy project of the Rt. Hon. Alban S. K. Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, reflecting his abiding dedication to deepening public understanding of, and engagement with, Ghana’s parliamentary history and institutions. The Museum will be open to visitors from Mondays to Fridays, between 9:00am and 4:30pm.

Members of the public wishing to visit the Museum are required to book through Parliament’s official website by clicking on “Visit,” then “Museum,” and completing and submitting the form provided. Visitors will be notified by message once their request is approved.

Housed within its walls is a curated collection tracing the evolution of Ghana’s Parliament, including historical photographs, documents and records of past proceedings, artefacts and memorabilia belonging to former Speakers, archival material on the Legislative Council and Ghana’s constitutional milestones, ceremonial and symbolic items associated with the institution, and interactive multimedia exhibits on the law-making process and the history of governance.

The Parliamentary Service said the Museum will serve as a valuable resource for a wide range of stakeholders. The general public will gain a deeper window into Parliament’s history and workings, while students and researchers will find a primary source for the study of Ghana’s parliamentary and constitutional development. Tourists and cultural visitors are expected to enjoy an enriching addition to the nation’s heritage offerings, while Members of Parliament and staff will benefit from a repository preserving institutional memory. International partners and fellow legislatures, the statement added, will encounter a showcase of Ghana’s democratic heritage.

“With this Museum, Parliament renews its commitment to openness, to public education, and to keeping the record of the nation’s legislative history intact for generations to come,” the Parliamentary Service said.
