Parliament to open Ghana’s first Parliamentary Museum to the public on September 22

The Parliament of Ghana is set to open its first Parliamentary Museum to the public on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, in an initiative aimed at preserving the country’s parliamentary heritage and promoting public understanding of the legislature.

According to a press release issued by the Parliamentary Service, the museum will be open to visitors from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Described as a legacy project of the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban S. K. Bagbin, the museum will showcase materials documenting the evolution of Ghana’s Parliament and its constitutional development.

The collection will include historical photographs, documents and records of parliamentary proceedings, artefacts and memorabilia associated with former Speakers, archival materials on the Legislative Council, and items relating to key milestones in Ghana’s constitutional history.

Visitors will also be able to explore multimedia and interactive exhibits on the law-making process and the history of governance in Ghana.

The Parliamentary Service said the museum is expected to serve a wide range of visitors, including students, researchers, tourists, cultural enthusiasts, Members of Parliament and parliamentary staff.

Students and researchers will have access to primary-source materials for studying Ghana’s parliamentary and constitutional development. Tourists and cultural visitors, meanwhile, will be able to learn about the country’s democratic heritage.

The museum is also expected to serve as a repository of institutional memory for Members of Parliament and parliamentary staff, while providing international partners and other legislatures with an opportunity to engage with Ghana’s parliamentary history.

Members of the public who wish to visit the museum must book through Parliament’s official website by selecting “Visit” and then “Museum.”

Applicants will be notified by message once their visit requests have been approved.

The Parliamentary Service said the museum reflects Parliament’s commitment to openness, public education and the preservation of Ghana’s legislative history for future generations.
