Parliament of Ghana To Open First Parliamentary Museum On September 22

The Parliament of Ghana will formally open its first Parliamentary Museum to the public effective Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

The announcement was contained in a press release issued by the Parliamentary Service on September 17, 2026, and signed by the Director of Media Relations, David Sebastian Damoah.

According to the statement, the Museum stands as a landmark legacy project of the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban S. K. Bagbin, and reflects his dedication to deepening public understanding of, and engagement with, Ghana’s parliamentary history and institutions.

The Museum will be open to visitors from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Prospective visitors are required to book a visit through Parliament’s official website, www.parliament.gh, by clicking on “Visit,” then “Museum,” and completing and submitting the form provided. Applicants 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 statement 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; students and researchers will find a primary source for the study of Ghana’s parliamentary and constitutional development; tourists and cultural visitors will enjoy an enriching addition to the nation’s heritage offerings; Members of Parliament and staff will benefit from a repository preserving institutional memory; and international partners and fellow legislatures will encounter a showcase of Ghana’s democratic heritage,” it said.

“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 statement added.
