Rum Hospital to Parliament tells the story of New South Wales Parliament House and its evolution from Sydney's first general hospital to a modern parliamentary building that has seen 200 years of political life - the oldest public building in Sydney and an enduring example of colonial Georgian architecture.
Built in convict times in exchange for a monopoly on the colonial rum trade and initially condemned 'to ruin', the building has withstood centuries of adaptation and change to become the modern Parliament House it is today.
