The Open House Hobart program invites visitors to inspect the intriguing buildings across nipaluna/Hobart that have long piqued their curiosity.

Open House Hobart 2026

Pedder Street by Bence Mulcahy was part of the Open House Hobart 2025 program.

Open House Hobart returns this year with a fresh lineup of buildings never before seen by the public across the weekend of 7–8 November.

This year’s event offers access into MONA’s underground library Phrontisterion and the “hidden spaces” under Princes Park and Alexandra Battery.

Civic buildings featured on the program include the Parliament House, the Supreme Court, Hobart Town Hall and the State Library and Archives.

Historic buildings are featured alongside contemporary architecture, with the program further encompassing numerous examples of modernism.

Open House Hobart will also host walking tours, design experiences, conversations – including dialogue on housing and contemporary challenges in architecture – and opportunities to discover the stories and history of the spaces that shape Hobart.

The program features a discussion between Kevin McCloud, presenter of Grand Designs, and Australian comedian Tim Ross, at Hobart College.

The full 2026 program is available here .

An exhibition built around the idea of a “loose-fit” approach: making do, slowing down and taking care through shared authorship, participation and flexible design processes.

The ninth annual Sunshine Coast Open House weekend will showcase historic, contemporary and sustainable buildings across the region.
