The Parliament building of the Republic of Austria is the country's centre of power for democracy and parliamentarism. At the same time, it is the quintessential symbol of the historic events of the past 140 years, but also of parliamentarism in action. On the occasion of the reopening of the completely renovated structure, this richly illustrated book invites readers to immerse themselves in the past, present, and future of the Parliament - thus showing its importance for the country and its people.
