The Museum of Australian Democracy acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.

The museum respectfully acknowledges the role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in shaping Australia’s democracy.

    The Silent Speaker

    Dark times, mounting economic and social challenges and difficult decisions to be made….

    2020 ?

    No, its 1931 and you are invited into the House of Representatives at Old Parliament House where the order of business is about to be interrupted….

    As the chamber doors close behind you, and the sands begin to trickle through the hourglass, you must work together to solve a series of puzzles and earn the clues to identify a killer.

    Before it’s too late.

    An interactive whodunit at Old Parliament House.
    Dressing for the 1930s era welcome but not essential
