It’s a historic day here as the UK prepares to leave the European Union 🇬🇧🇪🇺
We’re marking #BrexitDay by looking at how key #Brexit Bills moved through Parliament, how you can get your voice heard about new laws, and how our teams have been working hard behind the scenes.
Leaving the EU means @UKParliament must pass new laws. Want to get involved?
👋Contact your MP or a Lord to ask them a question
🤓Come for a free tour of Parliament through your MP
🏫Book a workshop about Parliament for your school or community group
And our teams of Hansard reporters have recorded the thousands of words spoken by MPs and Lords in the Chambers. They write up what's spoken so that everyone can read at hansard.parliament.uk
Looking for more ways to keep up to date with @UKParliament?

First over to our Parliamentary Art expert Melanie 🎨🖼️✏️
💬 "How many works are hidden away in storage? Do they get put on display in rotation?" ❓
80% of our 9,000 artworks are on display - a high percentage compared to many museums. We do rotate the works on display - some are fragile and can only be displayed for short periods.
