Perth Museums

Two institutions stand out as must-visits. Located in the Perth Cultural Center the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip (WAM) and the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) immerses you into what is Western Australia.

WAM Boola Bardip, translating from Noongar Language, “heart of stories”, is the museum taking you on a captivating exploration of Western Australian natural and social history. Go on a journey of what connection to land means in the perspective of the Aboriginal custodians of the land along with their enduring traditions. Introduce yourself to the quirky marsupials found in Western Australia. See the impressive Perth Theropod, a replica skeleton of the largest dinosaur ever discovered in Australia.

​

Next door to WAM Boola Bardip, Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) is a prestigious collection of Australian and international art spanning back centuries. A visit here is a discovery of the evolution of Australian art, from colonial artists to contemporary indigenous creations. The Aboriginal dot paintings are definitely something to marvel at.  Beyond Australia, interesting Asian art traditions and contemporary pieces around the world wait for your visit.

Both of these establishments offer comprehensive and enriching cultural experiences. This is the place for you to immerse yourself in the stories of Western Australia past, present, and emerging.
