Brisbane Open House is a free annual event. We provide 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 opened for the public with guided and self-guided tours to encourage 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 inaugural Brisbane Open House was launched in 2010 with great success, attracting more than 12,500 visits. Each year the event has continued to grow. In 2019, our tenth anniversary, BOH attracted 85,000 visits from over 35,000 participants to 120 sites.
