Parliament to open first Parliamentary Museum to public on September 22

Parliament of Ghana will officially open its first Parliamentary Museum to the public on Tuesday, September 22.

The museum, housed within Parliament House in Accra, will showcase materials documenting the evolution of Ghana’s Parliament and the country’s constitutional and legislative history.

It will be open to visitors from Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 4:30pm.

According to the Parliamentary Service, the museum is intended to deepen public understanding of Parliament, preserve institutional memory and provide educational resources for students, researchers and the general public.

“The Parliament of Ghana is pleased to announce the formal opening of the Parliamentary Museum to the public, effective Tuesday, September 22, 2026,” the Parliamentary Service said in a statement issued on Thursday, September 17.

The museum will feature historical photographs, documents and records of past parliamentary proceedings, as well as artefacts and memorabilia associated with former Speakers of Parliament.

It will also contain archival material on the Legislative Council and Ghana’s constitutional milestones, alongside ceremonial and symbolic items connected to Parliament.

Interactive multimedia exhibits will further provide visitors with information on Ghana’s law-making process and the development of its governance institutions.

“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; students and researchers will find a primary source for the study of Ghana's parliamentary and constitutional development,” the statement said.

The project has been described as a landmark legacy initiative of Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, reflecting his stated commitment to improving public understanding of and engagement with Ghana’s parliamentary institutions.

Members of the public who wish to visit the museum are required to book through Parliament’s official website by selecting the “Visit” option, followed by “Museum”, and completing the online form.

Visitors will receive a notification once their requests have been approved.
