The Vestibule is the entrance hall of the Parliament of Victoria. It was completed in 1879, towards the end of the Victorian gold rush. It was designed to have a 78 metre high domed ceiling. The gold rush ended before it was finished and there was no money to complete the dome. Instead, a temporary tin ceiling was installed, which is still used today.

​

The floor of the Vestibule is laid with tiles from England. The centre of the design contains the Royal coat of arms and a quote from the Bible that says “Where no Counsel is the People Fall; but in the Multitude of Counsellors there is Safety.” This refers to the work of Parliament to represent the people and keep them safe.
