 New
Zealand's Parliament Building and debating chamber is well worth
a visit.
Designed
and built in the early parts of the 20th Century it has undergone
a major rennovation and looks superb.
There
are free one-hour tours available and guides will take great delight
in telling you about New Zealand's style of Government, the workings
of the Parliament, the country's history and many other things.
You
can wander around key areas of the historic buildings including
the Parliament and Legislation chambers and the Grand Hall, as well
as taking in New Zealand multimedia artworks in the Galleria.
When
the Parliament is in session - that is meeting - you can get access
to seating in the public gallery.
You
will need to go through security first and there is a dress code
for those wanting to watch the politicians in action in the debating
chamber.
Male
visitors to the gallery may not wear hats - except for religious
reasons (for example, turbans) - they must not take off their jackets
in the gallery and must wear shoes.
