Old Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, originally known as the Provisional Parliament House, served as the seat of the Parliament of Australia from 1927 to 1988. This historic building, designed by John Smith Murdoch, is an example of the Stripped Classical architectural style. It was intended to be a temporary solution until a permanent building could be constructed, but it ended up being the home of Australia's federal government for over six decades. Today, Old Parliament House houses the Museum of Australian Democracy, offering insights into the country's political history and democratic processes.
