The NSW Architects Registration Board (NSW ARB) is committed to increasing public understanding of the value of architects and the contribution architecture makes to the places and communities of NSW.

As part of this commitment, the NSW ARB is pleased to be continuing its Principal Partnership with Museums of History NSW for Parramatta Open 2026.

Parramatta Open on Saturday 29 August will give visitors the opportunity to explore some of the city’s most significant buildings, heritage places and contemporary public spaces, including many that are rarely open to the public.

It promises new opportunities to directly engage with architecture and experience how Parramatta’s buildings and public places support everyday life and contribute to a vibrant city.
