Brisbane Open House (BOH) is a free annual event providing residents and visitors with the rare opportunity to discover the hidden wealth of architecture, engineering and history in buildings and places around Brisbane city. Selected buildings are open to the public with guided and self-guided tours encouraging visitors to explore, re-examine and engage with Brisbane’s built environment. The experience opens people’s eyes and minds to good design and curious spaces.
The event is organised by the Queensland Government Architect, the Brisbane Development Association, and the National Trust of Queensland. It is supported by the Brisbane City Council and a range of program and practice partners and friends of Brisbane Open House.
Brisbane Open House is part of the Open House Worldwide annual cultural event.
